    I'm more on the side of "never stop an adversary from making a mistake".

    If they give their dirty money but have no control or power over you, take it and use it for your own agenda.

    Sometimes, evil corporations want to use a FLOSS tool for exactly the same things as its other users do, so if they give money to the developers to use to do what the users want, everyone benefits. Other times, evil corporations want to buy some of the good reputation of a FLOSS tool and/or infect it with their toxic reputation as a marketing strategy, and only evil benefits.
