None whatsoever, other than that their mockups appear to depict GNOME,
which is part of why it needs investigation.

I'm much less concerned about whether they want GNOME's *support* (as it
seems rather unlikely either that they'd seek such support or that we'd
offer it), and more concerned about whether they're actually acting in
good faith or whether they might be doing something that will actively
damage the reputations of Linux, GNU, GNOME, and other Free Software
projects.
