I think this is criteria A

And I think this is criteria B.

I think it is ok to list companies that meet (A && B) but I think you should 
keep those criteria together. So the header should say that it is a list of 
companies who provide KDE related services (A) and who work in close 
cooperation with the KDE project (B).

Otherwise you would be implying that B is necessary for A, which I don't think 
is the case.

I do think that B is an important criteria for KDE for two reasons: a) It 
means that this company is actually helping to make KDE better. b) It means 
that we have at least _some_ insight in the quality of the work produced by 
this company.

Cheers,
