From personal experience, I went that route (open source non profit) and it ended up being a shit show, i wouldn’t assume it’s better.

No guarantees, but likely at least less evil.

At this point I really do think we need to be forming something like Mondragon-esque, worker governed co-ops, collectives.
Unions aren’t enough.
