I can't figure out which matter you're talking about here. It can't be
VMware, because, as I posted yesterday [0], I specifically talked with Linus
about VMware before Conservancy made a commitment to work with Christoph, and
Linus said "what they're doing is in bad taste and someone should probably do
something about it".

The cherry-pick went the other way: developers cherry-picked *us*. As
previously explained [1], developers came to Conservancy to ask us to help
them enforce because no one else would help. Once Harald's organization,
gpl-violations.org, was defunct, it was tough to keep saying "no" to them, so
we finally just said "yes". (BTW, Harald told us in April that he may get
gpl-violations.org running again, and if so he will coordinate with
Conservancy.)
Also, either side can terminate the enforcement agreements at any time: the
developers if they no longer trust Conservancy, or Conservancy can terminate
if Conservancy chooses not to help those developers enforce anymore.
