Steil seems like the logical one. He may sound harsh at first, but under the circumstances it's refreshing. Refreshing because he doesn't beat around the bush. He just says it like it is: the guy wasn't that important to the project.
If it has been commercialized and people are rushing into the project, then good for them. That's the way you get quick results. God knows we don't need another alpha-stage port given up on, but still lying around. This is what the project needs, regardless of the incentive.
Bill Gates? Sony? Red Hat? Lindows? No special incentive for any of them.
As for the donor, it's probably a publisher that wants to push the game out the door once it's developed. Think about it: put out $200,000 and avoid the expenses and bother of hiring game programmers who probably know little about Linux.
