It's like the Linux foundation issuing a vision that the software should remain free. Members of foundation should pledge towards that mandate. If a scumbag is going to rug pull it to a commercial license, violating the pledge, they will probably reneg on any voluntary penalties that they also pledged for violating the first pledge.
While its all a bit dramatic, the game theory of the drama should have been explained better, in that drama for traitors traitoring will include their pledge to kill themselves which as traitors will just have to dismiss, while enduring drama.
Yeah this story is weird and confusing.
