In what way would this be different to "we give the donations to the FSF
and ask them nicely if we want money"?
The original idea behind a seperate gimp foundation was that begging would
be necessary (even if the GNOME foudation might be rather open to giving
money...)

Well, GIMP is not part of GNOME, and this assertion was made repeatedly
over the years. Apart from labeling GIMP more of a GNOME program, I
wouldn't oppose (but I don't count much anyway :)
