Of course not.  On the other hand, I am free to think better or worse of
the offerer depending on the conditions attached.  A gift which turns
out to actually be an obligation may not reflect well on the "donor."

I happen to believe that "This is my gift to society." is a nobler
statement than "This is my gift to people who believe as I do."
