This can be emotive because we all discriminate in some way or another and I’m not looking to start an argument with others, it’s just an observation. I work for a Christian charity and am amazed at how many software vendors discount their software for charities, but specifically state not for religious organisations (even if they are fully registered bonafide charities). They are of course entitled to do so, but this is clear discrimination against a specific group of people and they get away with it. What makes it worse in Devonthink’s case is they specifically state in their principles that, “We Treat All People Equal” (https://www.devontechnologies.com/about/principles), but obviously not when handing out discounts! Of course they are not the only one’s Trello and Airtable do the same, plus a myriad of other vendors.
