Positive. It was fine with us as it was for a personal one-time gift for
one person. The reason why this was only approved now is that the
request fell through the cracks under the avalanche of mails, the events
(GUADEC etc.) and the handover between the old and new board.

We are not publicly disclosing because it is an ongoing legal matter.
Of course, we want to be as transparent as possible, so as soon as our
legal counsel advises us it is prudent to discuss publicly, we will.
