The changes can be minimal. Change the first "KDE" to "KDE Software"
and we're basically done.
The text ain't perfect indeed (as the comment on the bottom sais) but
it's ok enough if we want to keep changes minimal before this freeze.
A full rewrite of the text could be something like this:
support->setText(i18n("<html>"
"KDE software is and will always be available free of charge, however
creating it is not free.<br /><br />"
"To support development the KDE community has formed the KDE e.V., a
non-profit organization "
"legally founded in Germany. KDE e.V. represents the KDE community in
legal and financial matters. "
"See <a href=\"http://www.kde-ev.org/\">http://www.kde-ev.org</a>"
" for information on KDE e.V.<br /><br />"
"KDE benefits from many kinds of contributions, including financial. "
"We use the funds to reimburse members and others for expenses "
"they incur when contributing. Further funds are used for legal "
"support and organizing conferences and meetings. <br /> <br />"
"We would like to encourage you to support our efforts with a "
"financial donation, using one of the ways described at "
"<a href=\"http://www.kde.org/support/\">http://www.kde.org/support/</a>."
"<br /><br />Thank you very much in advance for your support.</html>")
+ "<br /><br />");

Please do. Ask them if they are OK with the rewrite or prefer the minor change.
