@Gusted @dachary @humanetech well that did not put me at ease at all. Either the guy is disingenuous or he's misled, none of which are comforting. The A in DAO requires some mechanism to keep the system going and that mechanism is cryptocurrency. There is no other way to programmatically manage the incentives. That's something I certainly don't want any part of.

And I started moving away from Github because I'm very much against what they are doing. I went to Codeberg, so we'll see what they end up doing.

@loke @Gusted @dachary @humanetech yeah, this looks worse than before:

kdumont: I think specifically more information for what “DAO” might include is needed (because it is being confused with crypto) and broader communication that license will remain MIT.

lunny: The emphasis is we want to share the benefits with contributors, DAO is an option tool we found, it’s not a needed if there is better way

@loke @Gusted @dachary @humanetech that doesn't look like he's saying that whatever they meant by 'DAO' isn't crypto, but just that they're open to alternatives as well

@takloufer @Gusted @dachary @humanetech That means he's misled, as there is no such thing as a DAO without cryptocurrencies.

The most well-meaning interpretation of what he said would be that he just wants to have a fair sharing of resources and an open governance model and he's under the belief that that's what a DAO is, so he's just using the term without understanding what it means.

But even that very charitable interpretation doesn't put me at ease at all that this won't end in the worst possible ways for the open source project.
