thats not how OSS contributions work. you contribute of your own free will, they don't owe you any equity or employment. of course you'd have a leg up on hiring but they don't owe you a thing.
I know how OSS works. I just think the transition from being a community-oriented project, to one that will create a lot of value for a small group of people, will be interesting to watch.
They certainly deserve any and all success, I just wonder how those decisions will be made.
