When all of this is done, a viable project with real users will be<br>
open source instead of closed source. Those contributors, and users,<br>
will be a part of our community instead of looking in from the<br>

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.</div><div><br></div><div>I guess my point is, yes for helping StarlingX now but no for incubating future forks if that happens.
