I find it particularly interesting that they post this as if it's a discussion to be had with the community yet they've already gotten permission[1] from developers by asking them beforehand, in private.

Remember the news about Audacity getting 'acquired' by Muse group [1]? Many commenters raised question about what acquisition means for a fully free project [2]. Speculating, since we don't have the full information yet, but I think we have the answer. This may be a glimpse of the future, where long running successful community FOSS projects get 'acquired' with commercial ambitions.
