OCI does the platform hosting and development. OCF does the non-profit org work. OCF pays the OCI.

At least that’s what I read from it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if only weeks from now involved people announced a competing/new platform without this setup.

Honestly thought they’d be the same org. Having another company in the middle seems like a way to siphon funds.
