It kind of astounds me how many previous sponsors are anonymous. (Well, sponsored features, I should say. I guess it could be the same one anonymous sponsor.) I'd be interested to know, just in general terms, what kind of real-world situation(s) there are where the downside to being public about this is greater than the goodwill/respect they would get for doing it. Maybe they do not want to be known as a company willing to sponsor development that they don't "own"? Could there be legal ramifications?

Most of the sponsors who wished to remain anonymous didn't want their competition to know they use LuaJIT. :-)

Aha, that makes sense. Well, good luck to them on keeping their "secret" weapon under wraps :-)
