It doesn't matter, don't buy a super popular and well established open source project and then stuff it full of spyware.
Wouldn't they be the black mark of the FOSS community for accepting money from a known bad entity? I also think this is discounting a big problem in the FOSS community, volunteers giving years of their free time on passion projects while dealing with angry users and not getting one cent out of it.
I routinely see people bitching about OBS and its devs for not being utterly perfect for their setup because they forget that once upon a time XSplit used to be the only good option. How much have they paid for OBS? zero. If company X comes and says "hey I can actually give you a living wage to work on your passion project" I think it's in some case reasonable to see their loyalty to whiny end users to be quite fragile.
The audacity devs all left. What was left were a few unknown, unvetted developers from a state known to employ extensive surveillance against users, quietly putting Google Analytics into FOSS software without asking the community.
Tantacrul was present, active, and patronizing throughout the entire ordeal.
