While I agree with Doug that we assume good faith and hope for the best, I
personally think we should help them (what we're doing now) but also make
sure we DO NOT set a precedent. We could probably learn from this situation
and document in our governance what the TC expects when companies have a
fork and need to contribute back at some point. We all know StarlingX isn't
alone and I'm pretty sure there are a lot of deployments out there who are
in the same situation.

I guess my point is, yes for helping StarlingX now but no for incubating
future forks if that happens. Like Graham, I think these methods shouldn't
be what we encourage in our position.
