An open standard needs a neutral steward. The Matrix Foundation exists to keep #Matrix open and neutral. And while Matrix is #free to use, it isn't free to run. If 80% of the public sector orgs that rely on Matrix became silver members, it would guarantee the independence of the Foundation and the future of the neutral spec.
