It doesnt AFAICT, looking at the website, it claims to be a
"not-for-profit consortium of companies and libre software projects using
Linux kernel based systems and other libre software for audio work, with
an emphasis on professional tools for the music, recording and broadcast
industries" - thats not what you said at all, and its true as far as I
know.
there is
an argument that once the project has launched, it is
too late.
Or before it has launched, too early? No one is twisting your arm to
support the project. [...] So there are
good corporates and bad corporates? If so, can we make
the bad ones into good ones by working with them on an equitable
basis?
yes, no.
You cannot work with a corporation on an "equitable basis". You
lick their asses till they hand over the money.
