Was it donated to EducOOo, or did EducOOo donate it to somebody else? And what does "donate" mean, exactly, in the context of Open Source software? Or is this not Open Source?

According to the issue they did do some arm6/armv7 optimizations and "donated"
the change back (Though the patch was buggy and not-working, see my later
comments) but the comment made it look that they "donated (the) code for
ARM Linux port". That was what I objected to.
