@aral do you state this under the assumption that FOSDEM decides on some sort of agenda? Even considering they select talks to some extent, the vast number of talks doesn't make very strict steering likely. So, in what respects is it an actual problem?
Good catch @aral! #Google does like free and open source, but only if they can exploit it.

Really? Then Google should be open to #AGPL licences—which they notoriously hate: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl-policy
Worrying if Google can influence/censor #FOSDEM as a sponsor, in the same way advertisers do for journals
