    No, they didn’t. He signed up for an affiliate link that he has used on his own. While this should not have happened either, it is something entirely different than Proton approaching him and offering him a sponsorship.

      Thanks for pointing out the detail, I didn’t know that.

      But I don’t see how that changes the situation. He got funds through the affiliate link. From Porton. Sounds like funding to me.
