It is a good thing for companies to offer support to GNOME and other
free software projects.  But if we accept their support, we should
take care (in a tactful way) not to let their preference for the term
"open source" seep into GNOME communications.  This is particularly
important if they work on GNOME web pages.

(See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
for why it matters.)
