Typical: institutional-ignoring is more important than upholding the law, jepordizing the legal-survival of the operation, itself..
maybe the regulators should have given them a deadline to get clean/legal in 1 quarter, or something..

A lot of words spent on saying nothing.
Quite the opposite. Meeks claims that this was some sort of conspiracy against him and others. Also that the announcement was unforeseen, or that it is a sort of feud. An admission of the utter failure of the document foundation, and a lot of other butthurt comments, etc.
While this post clearly states that he was most likely part of the conversation from the beginning. That some of those participating were acting in bad faith with finger pointing and holding on to unethical priviledges. That this is a symptom of a much bigger, systemic and older legal problem than Collabora itself. And that this is just part of trying to make things right and ensuring the legal survival of TDF as a nonprofit organization.
These kind of conversations do get a bit heated up. But Meeks do reek of trying to play victim in a situation that extends beyond himself and still seems likely to be partially his responsibility. Maybe Collabora is right in some way to be angry at TDF. However, all their communications have been very sour in tone and lacking in transparency.
We should wait to see which way the dust settles.
