How the .NET Foundation kerfuffle became a brouhaha

I think the problem for current members is that they gave away their copyrights for some small benefits (code signing and DNF branding??). Which might have been shortsighted but I think at the time it seemed like the DNF was going to give them more benefits. So they would probably have to create a new project name and stop using the old accounts?

Not in my case. The article explains how the copyright transfer was executed.

Thanks, I read your article, but I was under the impression that when you joined DNF they acquired your copyright from your previous sponsor foundation which happened on your decision?

Yes but I never had the copyright in the first place. This isn't about the copyright. I know I don't own it. This is about control of the project.
