  But when I donate my voice, it’s not going to some vault at Mozilla. It becomes part of an open resource that anyone can use to build models, libraries, etc.

  Just because it is organized by a company that may or may not have nefarious goals, isn’t that still a good thing to exist?

    Let me completely exaggerate to illustrate the concept:

    If osama bin laden or hitler, mao, a terrorist org etc. start a charity to plant more trees you would feel uncomfortable planting trees for their charity.

    If I don’t fully trust a company, it discourages me from participating in anything they do, no matter the intention.
