Reading between the lines, I don’t see anything in this message that implies this is a hostile takeover. It seems like Lunny envisions the Gitea Ltd as an additional assets of the Gitea community. That is, there’s no mention of what is happening to the voting system. It’s possible the current democratic voting system will remain in place, and that if Lunny is voted out, he will voluntary transfer ownership of the LTD to the new owner. The comments are acting like that is not the case but I don’t see anything indicating that.
The communication around this issue is very poor. I’m choosing to apply Occam’s Razor here and assume that Lunny doesn’t understand how other open source projects are run or what the differences between a non-profit and an LTD are (or what a DOA is). Rather than assume that this is an attempt to turn Gitea into a corporate-owned, profit-generating, machine.

I don't think there was really any excuse in the first place but definitely now there is none at all, and the non-response validates exactly the open letter's complaints. Saying "What's the big deal? I don't see the problem." proves the problem. (Lunny I mean)
