I really don't know what Blender were expecting as a reaction to them being "happy to announce" they took Anthropic money. If the ONLY requirement for being a donor, as the funding guidelines claim, is "to support Blender's mission", and accepting the funding doesn't indicate any endorsement, then the celebratory shout-out wasn't required. But then I suppose not saying *anything* would raise more red flags when people found out. Could have said it less excitedly? Or just...not taken it.
