New T&C: Is PyPI moving towards a paid subscription model and/or abandoning package neutrality?

great! Hoping that they have the time to engage in discussion with the community on this topic and related topics of policy!

For convenience, I am collecting some of the questions from above, by me and others:

  1. when was this change of T&C decided and by whom?
  2. are there minutes or other documents of the decision?
  3. what is the key rationale behind the paragraph “… PSF reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.”?
  4. is there a clear legal assessment on whether moving to a paid service model jeopardizes the 501(c) US non-profit status?
  5. does or did the aforementioned decision require a vote by the meeting of members?
  6. on the confirmed paid services or products, are there planned collaborations with one or more corporations, possibly hyperscalers?
