Hey Jeff!
I’m going to have to back the others here. While I haven’t been in Rocky leadership as long as the others, I’ve been in the loop of Rocky from the beginning. I’m a volunteer (who is on the board) and not paid to work on Rocky. I have no affiliation with CIQ outside of my interactions with them in the context of Rocky and the larger HPC community.
I’m assuming that these statements are against CIQ as Rocky doesn’t have a business side. The only things we “sell” would be merchandise - and we explicitly tell our merch vendors not to make a profit on our behalf as we’d rather the customer get a slight price decrease then make a profit from them.
It has been brought up several times that the conflation of CIQ and Rocky is unfortunate. Rocky isn’t CIQ and CIQ isn’t Rocky - though CIQ is obviously a HUGE sponsor of Rocky as well as other open source projects like the Warewulf and Apptainer communities.
Regardless of the optics of our sponsor and the Rocky project - I’ve never seen evidence (nor anything that comes close to it) that there have been shady business dealings. I’d quickly back the others posts above that if proof was provided - we’d take it to the board.
Please feel free to ask further questions.
