The sponsors are sponsors of the site. I'm not an official charity, so it's not deductible, but I still accept donations from people who appreciate the site and want to defray the costs of hosting it. It's unrelated to the sponsorship of the activity itself. -kmp

Note well that my remarks here and on islisp.info are my personal remarks, and funding likewise. As discussed in Untold Story, we created a mechanism to do personal things disjoint from what ISO did. Hence islisp.ifo dispenses the public domain version of ISLISP and is in some legal and logical way disjoint from the ISLISP standards process, though with obvious and deliberate parallels. So it's not surprising this funding/sponsorship thing is confusing. When I get back from traveling, maybe I can clarify that on the islisp.info site, at least.
