summary

Argues that the problem is proliferation not topic: there are already too many trade-association style foundations and what actually matters is protecting software freedom through an OSI-approved license and an asset lock, not creating a new legal vehicle. Recommends copyleft reciprocity for corporate safety, insists on separation of responsibilities between fiduciary boards and engineering steering committees, warns about regulatory capture, advises joining proven foundations, getting community buy-in before incorporating, and choosing jurisdiction carefully.
