Hi Adriaan,

I know this may have seemed a weird request for an open source software, but since it \
counts as software we do have to ask these questions.  That being said, thank you for \
taking the time to respond and providing the information you could. 

Have a great day.

Regards,

Hi Josh,

Thanks for contacting us. I'm replying as one of the board members of KDE e.V., the \
non-profit organization that supports the KDE community. At the same time, KDE e.V is \
not a company, and we do not provide or deliver products. We publish source code.

We do not track countries where individual contributors -- independent contributors \
with no direct ties to KDE e.V. -- live. Presumably the majority of the code is \
written in Germany.

We do not supply products to customers.

There are none. Anyone may download the source code, for free.

The document is not accessible. You may consider sending it in an open format \
instead.
