A 501c6 like the LF has to accept any member at a membership level so long as they comply with the Bylaws and policies. There are antitrust issues if they selectively blocked someone.
Also, consider that the LF may now be helping VMware with their compliance issues. They have many programs to help companies build compliance processes and tooling - is the author suggesting VMware can never right its wrongs? Would we say the same thing about Intel who wasn't that great in its initial Linux journey? Just turn them away for trying to get better?
