Bradley, what are you talking about? Here's the "confusing" paragraph
again:


  Organization overview: One or two paragraphs on the organization's
  work, history and mission. 

  Sugar Labs develops free software and content for primary school
  education, with a focus in developing nations. The Sugar learning
  environment powers all the laptops distributed by One Laptop Per
  Child, reaching 2.5 million children worldwide.

  Sugar Labs is a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy,
  an umbrella organization providing fiscal sponsorship for several
  other projects. EIN 41-2203632.


Note that I added the last paragraph specifically because you asked to
mention the SFC every time we describe Sugar Labs. I thought it was a
bit annoying, but still better than arguing with you.

I'm not going to waste any more time on this nonsense. Dealing with you
is as pleasant as being tried in court -- it just makes me want to give
up on trying to help Sugar Labs, a member project of the Software
Freedom Conservancy.
