KDE project is now sponsored by Intel and Novell
The KDE project, which aims to develop a beautiful open-source window manager for *nix, is now sponsored. Both Intel and Novell are funding KDE. Both companies are supporting KDE as patrons, which means they donate €10,000 a year to support the development and maintenance of KDE. Patrons of the project also get to use the fancy K logo on their respective websites.

They need it.
But so does everyone :D
Funding's good though. Intel needs software with features that use/need new processors, hence why they invest so much in software development. It's nice to see that investment going into Free software.
Either way, it's cool to see Intel support open-source stuff a little more, though.
