Some people mighrt be contracted to work on OSS on behalf of companies. This does not make them less affiliated, and it might be used to circumvent the affiliation rules.

On a side note, I would naively assume that "contractual obligations" is too broad, but I am neither a lawyer nor is English my native language.

Not a lawyer, I assume sponsorships that bound with goals are not considered as some sort of "by any possible means, ... and contractual obligations". Is this a correct assumption?

@legendecas Naively, I'd assume that paying for a streaming service is a contractual obligation, but that what you are describing is not :)

The first paragraph says "company or other entity", but the 2nd paragraph refers only to "company". Consider changing those references to "company/entity" for consistency.
