This thread is getting off topic. The only criteria for sponsors is whether they pay, whether they have an interest in Python/Python related technologies and whether they let us work without interfering. Open Source/Free Software issues are not really germane to a "Python language conference" regardless of what our personal feelings are. If this is a deal breaker for anyone here, here's a warning that you're going to see a lot more of this. Let's stop it at that. I'll summarise the discussion on the whole registration business and send an email tomorrow. We'll open it up for Monday morning. Good night. --
