Oh, so now you have 3 companies sponsoring you again. A short while ago only PIA had become a major sponsor (which also already happens to own two major IRC networks, and be the largest sponsor of some IRC clients) When we’re discussing "decentralizing" things, these things become important. In those cases, we shouldn’t give such companies any influence in any way. As we’ve seen with Google a few days ago, relying on funding from a company can end up with you having to either give up your project, or follow their demands.
