Someone said: Second - the current idea is that organizsations could join indirectly through their member's (staff) contributions. This idea works quite well for e.g. Gnome foundation. There are other models and we need to find something to make organizations happy to join. We must take responsibility to discuss this as well. BRM replied: But that's the point. Oracle may want to participate as an organization and no indirectly through its staff members. That part alone may be what is causing some of the riff
Actually, if a "coop-style" system is designed, it might be easier to control corporations than individuals. Compare Scenario One where Oracle or Google sends 100 employees-contributors as members of the Foundation, vs Scenario Two where Oracle and Google are members and have a single vote, but none of their employees may become members of the Foundation unless they work on their own.
