[Foundation-l] The end of donations

[Mark Williamson]

"Dark concepts"? Really? As encyclopedists, it is rarely our job to
judge, rather we are here to document from a neutral point of view.
Please remember that "darkness" is subjective, I'm sure there are
practices you consider "dark" that I do not and probably vice-versa.

Anyhow, David Goodman said "those who support censorship are obviously
not going to be our sources of funding", NOT "we will gladly accept
funds from anybody who is opposed to censorship".
