There was a recent thread on the main board in which someone asked for information about one of Tor's sponsors:

What is SponsorR?What is SponsorR?

Everything I could find about Tor's sponsors on the wiki omitted their actual names, and Jens' response on the thread mentioned that "...sometimes sponsors don't want to be assigned with their name."

With these in mind, I was wondering what the policy is regarding revealing sponsor's names in the public boards? Should we refrain from doing so, even if the name isn't confidential? Or is this not something we should worry about? (i.e. If a name of a confidential client gets leaked somehow, they have no legal recourse against the Tor project anyway.)

Just wondering.

How confidential are the names of Tor's sponsors?
