This still gives too much power to the FSF. It is better to use a CLA and have the proxy be able to switch over to any license when the need arises.

- charcircuit 8mo agoThere are times when it is best for the project to stop being fully open source. Such a hardline stance that it should always be open source and changing that is considered a rug pull is a harmful mindset to have as it can result in projects dying or missing their shot at success.
