Thanks to the Board for this thoughtful message, and to Eelco in particular for agreeing to a compromise that I hope can lead Nix and NixOS out of the present difficulty. I would like to humbly submit that Nix / NixOS / NixOS Foundation should become a voluntary association, as I outline here: [Nix should become a voluntary association](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-should-become-a-voluntary-association/44594)
