Personally, I don't know why you would waste your time replying.

Tetsuya,
The page you refer to states:
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Sponsors"
Note the tense here, it refers to *current* sponsors. I appreciate
that this may not be completely clear to those who do not speak
English as a first language. Indeed, due to the vagueness of the
English langiage it is possible to interpret that statement to refer
to all sponsors, past and present. However, please be reassured that
all sponsors that do not renew are removed from the thanks page as it
refers to current sponsors.
It may be argued that there should be a historical thanks page, I will
make no comment on the community list about this, it is a matter for
the PRC.

Hi Tetsuya,
With all due respect, but I think you are confusing "donations"
with "investments". Donating does not give you any power to the
donnor, it is just thanking and helping some work to be done. For
instance, if you donnated to an NGO helping the poor people in
Africa (or in Sri Lanka), you would delegate your money to the NGO
and not expect to tell to the NGO what to do. You just rely on
them. On the other side, if you bought shares for a company (which
is not the case of the ASF), you would be able to have your say,
at least for the percentage of actions that you own.
About the gaming sites, in the Western world such sites normally
have a bad connotation and you normally don't want to mix
something with a good name (e.g. Apache) with that kind of
gambling activities. I think that in the Eastern world the
perception of online gaming (or gaming in general) is different
and more open in a sense - not associated to corruption. That is
why people reacts so angrily with such proposals.
As for saying that the foundation is "poisoned". Well, that is a
big word to use,
Cheers,
Bruno

The only one thing I found out utterly is that the apache software
foundation is poisoned by Jim Jagielski and there could be no
curable way.
1. All the Sponsors who no pay should be deleted immediately
from thanks.html
even though "GOOGLE", "YAHOO", "MICROSOFT".
2. Jim Jagielski lied to me / us because "We will make
thanks.html page soon"
in the PDF which I first saw -- and for 6 months nothing
happened. - 3 years ago iirc.
Anyways, board - (1) should be done first.

Plus, those who can gather companies outside from the United
States,
go http://jakarta.jp/en
and buy. I will take care of it and donate to apache for those
companies'
names - for sure (If they tell me so).
501(c) is for American Companies. Not Russian nor Chinese
companies.
Tax Deductive - meaningless. Although there is this fact, I
donated as the
first individual sponsor from JAPAN. http://an.to/asf
DO YOU UNDERSTAND, MEN?
Thanks
Tetsuya.
