If all the other top level donators haven't done that by now I don't think there's much to worry about. And if they had plans to, I think they would have to face off against the other top level donators. So it wouldn't be that easy either.

Does this give them any actual control over Blender development or is it just one of many groups saying "We like what you're doing, keep at it"? Not saying there isn't the possibility of pressure because "If you don't do what we want, we'll pull our funding"... but again, if they're just *one* of many patrons at that level (amongst many at a smaller level) so that's not necessarily going to make that big a difference.

I don't see how that would be possible ? Blender is a foundation, not a company (although there's _also_ a company, but.... that's another story) and the code is licensed with GPLv2... you'd have to have ALL contributors from the very beginning (=thousands of people, including the ones who passed away) to agree unanimously to a license change. Blender is safe.
