Once again I'm convinced that the concept of non-profit is incompatible with moving software and technology forwards. In any real situation with accountability this group would be disbanded before Friday had been through, insane damage they've caused to OpenAI and the recent deals and depending on how this plays out they may have cost themselves market dominance.

How many more times in my life am I going to have to sit and watch a non-profit board destroy a piece of software, stagnate a piece of software or fumble a market dominance position, you'd have think we'd have learnt from Mozilla that it just doesn't seem to work.

Vision, talent and accountability to success builds real change in technology, not the sort of at best navel gazing academics and at worst outright leeches who are attracted to non-profit boards.

Is there any reason to think that non-profit governance somehow makes this more likely? It seems that there are plenty of well-functioning non-profit software around. Heck, the world runs on Linux, doesn’t it?

The specific mix of profit and non-profit motives in this particular organization is confusing though, looking at it from the outside.
