So long as I don't take any funding, my company's legal team is fine with me continuing to work on Twine. Sent from my phone with my typo-happy thumbs. Please excuse my brevity On Thu, Mar 18, 2021, 06:59 Ian Stapleton Cordasco < graffatcolmingov@gmail.com> wrote:
To be clear, I don't see myself as critical to Twine. If I were, that would be a huge issue.
Brian does an excellent job and Jason is available to help a lot of the time. Regardless, I have meeting with senior legal counsel for my employer Friday. So I'll know more then.
All of this is to say, go ahead. I'll know more about whether I'm still a maintainer this weekend.

I'm in the same position, but I had the impression that in this case you'll not receive any compensation. Instead the Tidelift value gets donated to PSF. So the way I see you're not getting any compensation if you sign up for it. I might be missing here something though,

I need to check with my employer but it's likely this will cause
me to have to resign from twine as a maintainer. My contract disallows me from receiving any compensation for F/OSS work and this will likely look an awful like that to the folks in legal. Sent from my phone with my typo-happy thumbs. Please excuse my brevity
