Do not confuse Open Collective Foundation with Open Source Collective: https://opencollective.com/opensource/updates/regarding-the-announcement-to-dissolve-open-collective-foundation

I believe the author here is confused as well

EDIT: I’m even more confused. Links from oscollective.org point back to opencollective.com. 😵‍💫
