 Replying to [comment:10 cypherpunks]:
 > I can only speak for myself and maybe most people don't really care, but
 hearing that a sponsor doesn't want itself listed on the website makes me
 wonder why that sponsor wouldn't want Tor users to find out about its
 sponsorship.

 They specifically took issue with the meaning of the word "sponsor". In
 their minds, they no more believe in Tor than they believe in aliens from
 outer space. We were merely the best people to defeat censorship for their
 project and duly hired us to do so. To them, "sponsorship" implies they
 believe in our cause and our goals, which their CEO stated multiple times
 was not the case.
