I'm not sure how that's a contradiction. Of course she can start something while doing her job.
Evidence:
https://commonsclause.com/ https://commonsclause.com/ "The Commons Clause is a license condition drafted by Heather Meeker"
https://techcrunch.com/2018/11/29/the-crusade-against-open-source-abuse/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/11/29/the-crusade-against-open-s... "Heather Meeker wrote both solutions, supported by feedback organized by FOSSA."
- lilyball 8y agoThe TechCrunch article you linked indicates that it's the article's author, Salil Deshpande, who's responsible for the Commons Clause. Heather Meeker was just the lawyer tapped for this.
- detaro 8y agoWouldn't you say the companies that asked her to help create these licenses "started it"? I think for the question if another effort is suspect just because it involves her the source of the motivation is IMHO relevant.
