@Npars01 @iaruffell @ammdias This is why tech companies hiring FOSS maintainers or key developers is fundamentally malicious and something we should not accept.
If they want to fund the people working on the commons they depend on, they need to do it in ways that do not give them, or even give the appearance that they have, editorial control over anything.
As one of them myself, I can say this is not terribly hard but it requires standing up for yourself and your project. Communicating that control over it is not for sale and that terms of engagements need to acknowledge that.
