* Get appointed as paid managers of a non-profit * Get advice from legal * Legal suggests removing long-term maintainers without liability contract the same way people get fired: immediately and instantly, and screw the consequences. "Open-source? Never heard of it. Protect your entity legally" * Instantly follow the advice of the lawyers to the letter.

Well done, well done.
