Hi Stormy, If I compare the spreadsheet with the sponsors listed on http://foundation.gnome.org/ I see that not every sponsor pays a contribution.
I can imagine that non-profit do not have to pay to become a foundation member. Though I think a non profit like Mozilla has so much revenue that you could ask for a contribution I think. However Openedhand and Imendio are as far as I know a commercial company. Don't they financially help the foundation in 2009?
