   I went to download KiCad 9 stable and saw the big "far field exploits" badge on their donation drive since they're matching donations.

   Ok, so it's some infosec thing, wireless stuff maybe?

   I click on the badge and get this shit. You can't really stop your open source project from being used by these types, but you don't have to accept them as a sponsor and advertise them.

     @claudius @aleksorsist Boy, you will really hate to know the backgrounds of the developers then. You are welcome in the community. So is FFX. So are our trans friends. The people who are not welcome are those who try to exclude others. They are welcome to fork KiCad and start their own community.
