    I look forward to the FSF's financial contributions to GNOME
    conferences.

The truth is not for sale.  GNOME was launched by the GNU Project to
be part of the GNU system.  That system is still GNU, and calling it
"Linux" is bad for GNU, including GNOME.

    I'd definitely want the GNOME Foundation Board to accept one of its
    sponsors using "Linux"

I agree, but that is a different subject.  We were talking about
holding GUADEC in combination with a Linux Foundation event -- not about
merely accepting sponsorship.
