More on the KDE League

Posted by michael on from the pushing-the-needle-too-far dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Timothy Butler published a nice clean-up on the misinformations that were published by dep on Linux and Main. Most of what that has been alleged by Linux and Main turns out to be wrong. Especially, the KDE League has no obligation to disclose financial information. On dot.kde.org, Mathias Kalle Dallheimer, KDE e.V. president, explains that the KDE e.V would authorize the KDE League to disclose its books to the KDE e.V members. However, the KDE e.V is not the only member of the KDE League. Other members would have to approve this."

  1. HogWash by oldstrat · · Score: 3, Flamebait

    Too much of all this KDE League Bunk is just hogwash.

    Is anyone here, asside from myself able to make a couple of clicks and read for themselves?

    It is VERY VERY clear that the KDE League is supposed to be a Public Relations front for KDE.

    It is also quite clear that it is a not for profit, not a non-profit.

    It is also quite clear that they are not working as a PR group and that moneys are being piped from for profits into the hands of a special few.

    The State Attorney General of Delaware needs to be looking into this organization to see exactly what the story is and should be contacting the members.

    I don't hold any stock in the companies that are members, but if I did I would be sending letters to the Boards of those companies asking for clarification.

    One thing is for certain there's smoke and KDE League appears to be pulling PR pranks to pretend that it's just a low level fog, and nothings burning.

    And before the legal dogs start barking at my door I want to make it clear that this is my OPINION, each of you are free to explore the facts and form your own.
