"Protecting NATS and the integrity of open source: CNCF’s commitment to the community" www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04... github.com/cncf/toc/iss...

Appreciate the transparency on this and the CNCFs commitment to the NATs project and it's contributors and ends users 🙌

thanks, not the most fun part of the job but definitely necessary to ensure the commons and level playing field

This reminds me (a little) about the issue last year with Linkerd being maintained by a single vendor and the drama that came around that. Was there any learning outcome / changes from that to help avoid vendors getting a stronghold on a project like that?

Very different situation. Linkerd is fully open source and has been since its inception. We’ve played by the CNCF rules. If anyone wants to reduce someone else’s “stronghold” on Linkerd they just need to step up and get involved. I will never apologize for paying maintainers 💪
