just for your information this is how we handle this for KDE e.V. servers: 
We already had several offers to sponsor KDE e.V., directly to the board or 
through people. What we accept are donations only and donators will be named 
on this contributors page and maybe in a dot story, but not on the main page. 
Usually companies draw back their offer then. They are seeking real 
sponsoring, while KDE e.V. only takes donations.

This is for KDE e.V. servers and I am glad to see a discussion about a policy 
for non-KDE e.V. servers within the kde.org domain.

I'd also like to add, that KDE e.V. is receiving a steady amount of donations. 
It's nothing you can do really big things, but it's enough to carry on our 
infrastructure. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to come back to 
us and we see what we can do for you. Sometimes it's also possible to find 
companies who donate hardware instead of money.

Greetings,
eva
