What basis is there for your accusations?

These aren't companies. It's a communty project and a FOSS project merging resources.

History

Exactly how other situations historically have started. Lot's of FOSS projects "brought into the fold" to "shepard" along only to not get the resources promised.

That's all you have? They are baseless then.


Not really. It's more of a wait and see, "lets hope for the best, but plan for the worst" kind of scenario.


Yes, really! There is no basis. "History" isn't a basis - try it in another context.


Ugh no. History is indeed a good basis to observe and learn from.

Bearing in mind it's not a 100% successful predictor, but is useful for figuring out how things are _likely_ to play out.
