Thoughts about donor

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on September 03, 2002 07:29 PM
I'd bet the donor is Larry Ellison of Oracle Corp. Larry has a great deal of money and he wouldn't miss $200K. He also has no love for Microsoft. Larry has been pushing Linux into his company as an MS competitor and legitimizing its use in corporate America. This would be a way for Larry to have fun, and stick it to MS.

Bill Gates wouldn't miss $200K either, but if the word got out that it was him, it would be most damaging to his cash-cow. I really doubt that it was him.
