Compare Godot's governance page (https://godotengine.org/governance) with this blog post and the previous one. Godot's governance page indicates, clearly, that Godot is owned by the community and SFC is empowered to ensure that happens. There's no acknowledgement of the existence of W4Games (who are also not called Godot Engine Ltd), much less any governance role. This makes W4Game's position as "just one consulting company amongst many" which is much more palatable. If W4 wanted to take Godot to an open core or visible source model then, it would have to fork, despite containing the lead developers. The worry here is that Gitea Limited will be in the same position as ElasticSearch in a few years and they've given no structural roadblocks against that while dropping community leadership for commercial leadership |
