And they would be powerless to stop you.

You want to maintain ultimate control over any [[es:]].
The whole point of the fork is that they don't want you
to maintain ultimate control over their enciclopedia.
This is a pretty significant impasse.

When we get a nonprofit set up, will you maintain ultimate control?
Or will the nonprofit raise funds and pay you for server usage?
If you won't maintain ultimate control anymore,
then that would be the time to approach EL.
