Hmmm concerns about the anonymous donor's track record for open source licensing missteps and source publication delays, and concerns about the project being too focused on commercial gains.
Well then, this donor is most likely a corporation or a major representative of one, with a bit of a wild and entrepeneurial spirit, and is definately controversial within the community. It could be a tonne of people, but my gut feeling is that it is Michael Robertson from Lindows.com.
He's got a bunch of money, he certainly wouldnt mind giving MS a little jab every now and then, and who knows if he has some plan to resell used Xboxen as cheap workstations. (Of course, this is only a purely unsubstantiated guess.)
