The open source thing I made is getting big and for-profit companies are deploying it as part of their service and consulting businesses. Some are multi-nationals and others are garage shops. People are contributing stuff back but so far 95% is what I made. Some of the largest users are offering to set up a non-profit foundation and would like my blessing and participation.

I'm happy to help get it going but unsure how much I want to be involved in the long run. Anyone have advice or links on setting up the governance structure of the non-profit to fairly balance the interests of commercial, non-commercial (including Edu) and individual stakeholders in the long-run?

Legally, I'm getting a good law firm involved, so I'm most interested in stuff like how setting it up well can help the community grow vs fragment. How can I most effectively use my influence to set the right tone and expectations? Are there risks I should try to mitigate? For example, a commercial deployer using their involvement in the governance of the non-profit to unfairly disadvantage smaller deployers or non-commercial users?

I want to minimize the odds of future drama and maximize the odds that I'll feel good about what I made growing and helping people.
