Disagree very strongly. Microsoft actively invites the user to offer something in return for sponsorship. They have features built into their sponsorship program to encourage that like the tiers and also documentation and examples on GitHub owned properties demonstrate examples of doing exactly that. Therefore Microsoft actively wants you or at least strongly suggests that this is what the user should do whilst at the same time making it impossible for the user to comply with national VAT laws because they withhold you the information and don't allow you to capture that information yourself and don't invoice correctly which is also done by Microsoft automatically. Therefore Microsoft is actively evading VAT and actively pushing their own customers to evade VAT which is a double offence IMHO.
