That caused a lot of tension, the foundation came to a decision not to accept sponsorship

This part is actually not true, they are still a sponsor of NixCon NA 2024.

They proposed a policy to handle deciding sponsorships in the future, but it's pretty lackluster. It basically just says the people in power promise to do a good job, pinky swear.
