@Shamar But to be super clear, where I'm coming from is that I want to find ways to make enough money from libre software development in order to live on without infringing the Four Freedoms. I think it's vital for that to be possible, and I'm not really interested in debating that.
And while I do think many projects do need to be openly governed, I don't think every project needs to be. Closed governance may be one path, as long as those projects do not complain about forks.
