Hear, hear,

I see a number of people, myself included, who are concerned that this
LF "offer" amounts to a power-grab, to use the "donations" as bait to
bring us into a trap in which our projects would be under control of a
body that has seats for sale, effectively "buying" the projects on the
cheap.


One way to significantly alleviate these concerns would be to test
whether the funds can be spent on infrastructure that's not under their
control, i.e., whether it's an investment, or possibly a gift that would
enable us to expand our autonomy rather than curtail it.
