People don't want Anduril to benefit from the NixOS they work on via publicity or association. Most wouldn't have a problem with Anduril donating and asking for no sponsorship or other benefits in return.

Do you know if Stallman would platform Oracle by allowing them to be a sponsor?

It's not hard to argue "the nix community is not 100% white male".

Bridging Stallman's article to the issue at hand of sponsorship, I find it hard to believe that because he's fine with say Oracle using his code that he would also be fine with giving them a platform as a sponsor. I don't act

Thanks for providing more detail and context. When you are well-versed in this Nix sponsorship/conflict of interest issue it can be had to disentangle what context need to be included to help other fully understand the situation.
