So... we can expect BMW to support @gnome then? 🤔

KDE is based in Germany, just like Mercedes and BMW. GNOME is based in the US, so they should instead get sponsored by General Motors or Ford to keep the rivalry going.

KDE has an office in Germany for administrative purposes, but its base is worldwide. As a non-profit charity, we have rivalries with no-one.
