• We want to thank those organizations that make significant donations of goods and services to KDE by publishing their names on a Thank You Page (http://kde.org/thanks.php).
• The KDE Community is grateful for all donations, The goal of this policy is to define clearly which donors should appear in the Thank You Page.
