Ruby Central's Attack on RubyGems [pdf]
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"

The problem is that Shopify is leveraged by DHH (who is on their board) to be the financial support referenced elsewhere in today’s discourse. Shopify is a bad actor here

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.

I should add, to clarify: I don't work at Shopify anymore and I'm not speaking for them. Purely a personal view.
