The company that developed RethinkDB, something like MongoDB but with a better reputation, went out of business, and apparently the developers want RethinkDB in a foundation. But are held up because foundations want them to change the license from AGPLv3. Apparently they are talking to the wrong foundations.

Conservancy is the obvious answer.
@jxself yeah I made a snarky comment to that effect https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13497625
Now I see Erik Moeller made the obvious suggestion nearly six months ago https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6137 ... I don't follow these conversations about choosing a 'foundation' closely, but I get sense that somehow, maybe without lots of awareness, lots of developers think joining a trade association is the right, or perhaps high status, thing to do, not really taking non-profit stewardship seriously. Am I crazy to sense this? I would love to change it if true.
