Maybe Apple? Perhaps some departments had spare budget to spend before the end of the year so they donated it and it was just consolidation?


The whole point of an anonymous donation is that is anonymous. I agree that it is a corporate user, and it's possible that using FreeBSD is a strategic advantage they don't want to disclose. Or is just that they don't want the PR part of it.


Right I'm saying it could be a large enough company that they have multiple streams of donations going at once and it was consolidated after the fact. Like international divisions or similar.
