alt Hacker NewsI must be the only one in here who thinks $1.5M is a small sum compared to Anthropic's size and the amount of value they have gotten out of Python. Good press is cheaper than I thought.

that was my first thought too, $1.5M is peanuts for Anthropic, however $1.5M is better than nothing, so it worth some PR too. Good they do, I think we have to encourage companies to do it, shaming will not help.
You are right, it is. But it would be a mistake for us to use this opportunity to attack them for it.
We should applaud their donation today, and at another time assess the meager contributions of many companies that should be shamed.
