That is exactly so, and one need not know the structure of governance of the organization. One can just know about the individual agreement between the person and organization. When saying organization, it need not be incorporated entity. Many groups and especially software projects are not incorporated.

Exactly.

Exactly, thank you. Group of few people with bad intentions are trying to take over GNU project by imposing and by pretending it is some kind of government. While in the same time they run similar project like Guix, which is certainly not governed by its volunteers. Volunteers do not have finaly say in Guix.
How about moving away attackes from GNU and continuing with contributions to Guix?
