That's the bottom line. What's most

the longer term.
It is worth remembering - whatever any future Board does only affects
the 'container', the sites and the names. The legal ownership or
control of the content does not rest with the Board, and they'd be
hard pressed to find any way to make it proprietary and unfree.
Hoi,
This may be true, but it does not mean that people who have an opinion
that differs from the board can leverage their control of "their"
content. When the board leaves the content as is, they can manipulate
the container and it is the container that gives the content in the end
its value.
Thanks,
