An open source umbrella organization pulled rank and the member projects are connecting the dots to see that Microsoft views them as unpaid employees.

No, it's not hyperbole. Go check the foundations website and you'll find that Microsoft has exclusive access to the highest level of power in the self-styled "independent" organization written right in to the bylaws.

Sigh. This isn't about Microsoft. It's about the .NET Foundation.

How are those two entities separate? MS has a non-removable seat on board and gets to appoint the director. I'm sure that DNF is seen as division from inside MS.

Because they are separate. Have you wanted the .NET Foundation and Microsoft interact?

Formally, yes. In reality though DNF is controlled by Microsoft through their pernament seat and an appointed director.

It was setup for failure. I am pretty sure this exclusive access thing was to protect core .NET not the community projects. But exactly that is a core mismatch between what the foundation is and what people expects.
