That’s a very selective truth way of telling the story. While what you wrote is technically correct, the “temporary president” in question is one of the founders and has been reelected for the position every time. He also did it together with some other core contributors, so while I agree that this was communicated incredibly poorly with the wider community, this wasn’t a hostile takeover at all.
I’ve seen my fair share of projects where one of the main contributors/founders took the project commercial. It’s never smooth. There will always be a part of the community that feels that open source principles are being bent or trampled.
This a good point, the story i’m telling came from the open letter, and at that point only one guy was considered responsible, and a lot of people signed the letter
But I really consider it a serious takeover, there was a democracy, and then some of the people used their power to turn it into authoritarianism
edit: anyway, I really appreciate your point of view, and just wish everything in the world would be foss and nonprofit and hugs and kisses 😔
