    I will say directly that this model of governance is incompatible with the tenets of free software.

    Which of the four freedoms does it fall short of?

      2, and by extension 3 and 4

      Hell depending on what this capital class votes for even 1 might be out the window.

          because having some capital class dictate the project is entirely antithetical to having the choice to contribute, even the AI stuff is just being contributed by a few large companies who want it

            Contributing something because you want it is how free software works.

                Repeating it doesn’t make it true. As long as the code is released under a FOSS license, the development model doesn’t matter.
