The open source ecosystem needs this kind of "wasta". AI solutions nowadays are working to automate all sorts of services, partly using adversarial interoperability tools built by open source developers to extract functionality from services that have insanely worded TOS/T&Cs. Some of these megacorps are going after the maintainers and not the (potentially funded/protected) consumers with legal threats. In this case the two parties are within 10's of millions of dollars of net worth, yet still it's not a fair fight when an incumbent tries to strangle a newborn in it's cott. Now think about the insane situation of megacorp vs maintainer with a delta of a few trillion dollars of net worth. I don't know if even a few phone calls would save a yc startup in that case.
