Massive deficit. Sometimes greater than the total revenue! Insane! Who benefits?

A decade ago from The GNOME Foundation Is Running Short On Money: "The gender is not a factor in software developing skills. It is a factor in who can give birth to babies. New members strenghten [sic] the movement and allow to create better software, be they women or men. I will not use nor promote Gnome in any way before they have ended that absolutely outrageous and unfair program."
There has long been this sentiment that non-essential spendings doomed the Foundation, which came crying for help from GAFAM, in turn worsening its dependence on the same evil corporations that took over the Linux Foundation and issue institutional orders (that's the real purpose of their "donations").
