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 don't think this is much different than the PSF accepting funding
from organizations like CZI on behalf of projects like pip, but I
would definitely recommend checking with your employer. We can just
exclude twine from this for now, I'd hate to potentially lose you 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.
