Joining something does not mean automatically mean giving them authority on your work. Reading this page: https://dotnetfoundation.org/projects/submit https://dotnetfoundation.org/projects/submit > The .NET Foundation uses either an assignment model or a contribution model for on-boarding new projects. Under the assignment model, a project transfers ownership of the copyright to the .NET Foundation. Under the contribution model, a project retains ownership of the copyright, but grants the .NET Foundation a broad license to the project’s code and other intellectual property. I guess the impacted projects had not selected the "assignment model" in the first place.
