At Shopify I was the person who first proposed that we needed to stump up $$$ for RubyGems (and only by implication Ruby Central).

This is not what I had in mind and now I'm embarrassed that I helped make it possible.

Sounds like Shopify has some leverage then to open a line of comms with Ruby Central. "Explain yourselves or we will pull funding"

If that's the case, sounds contradictory to their status as a 501c3 and could get their tax exempt status pulled if it's true.
