TDF could've avoided all this by not doing it in the first place. They sure would've known what the community's reaction was going to be.

Anyone contributing "a lot" (financial & technical), either Enterprise or individual, doesn't mean they can pull the project in their direction. If the project is community driven, then it stays that way.

Tired of Enterprises hijacking FLOSS projects, just because they contributed more in terms of development & finance. They still should be considered volunteers & thank them for their support, that's it. If they think that they aren't getting their deserved cut, then they no longer have to volunteer. If the project development wouldn't go at an accelerated pace, because enterprises weren't involved, so be it.
