From reading the entire talk page, for me the author has a limited view on what has happened.<p>He asked about COI and got<p>"As the author of the EOMA-68 standard, and as a co-creator of a crowd-funding campaign around several implementations of that standard, you have both a legal interest (as the primary author and copyright holder of the standard) and an economic interest (as an implementor) in the entities that this article is about."<p>as a first answer. Which is what the author didn't like and asked for 'clarifications' holding the opinion that<p>'do i have an interest in promoting the SUCCESS of EOMA68?" no i do NOT.'<p>which sounds surreal if you are the co-creator of a standard and run a crowd campaign for a device based on that standard, irrespective of the device being and/or standard being open.<p>The reasonable answer by the Wikipedian is<p>"Here is a video of you promoting the EOMA-68 initiative. Here is another. And here is an interview, in which you say, in relation to EOMA-68 and its implementations, things like, 'Let me tell you a little bit about why I'm doing this and why people should buy these products.'"<p>Looks like the author has also a very different view on crowd funding:<p>"it is a common mistake that a lot of people make. crowdfunding is a gift economy"<p>Otherwise read the talk page, it's much more fun than the blog post.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:EOMA68" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:EOMA68</a>
