"Any claims that any talk was allowed for sponsorship reasons are false"
I love puzzles, but damn this is a tough one.
It seemed obvious, but you're telling me the billionaire who profits from but contributes nothing to #FOSS and who is sponsoring the event was invited to keynote at #FOSDEM for some other reason? Nope, I give up.
Perhaps @fosdem can give us a clue. What is the reason for giving this billionaire oxygen?

"...provided the protest is indeed peaceful and does not disrupt the proceedings."
A protest that doesn't disrupt proceedings? What?

@FediThing @dentangle @fosdem yep and a sit in is peaceful.
If Dorsey brings in his jack booted thug protection into FOSDEM it will change the open nature of the event.
Dorsey would be a fool not to. FOSDEM has about 8000 to 10000 attendees as an estimate.

@dentangle @fosdem Let us not be too harsh too quickly. We are lucky to have a billionaire in the midst of our community, willing to share valuable insights! Maybe the keynote will help free software people to get better skills in – selling out.

@mray @dentangle Well I suppose there are lots of temporarily embarrassed billionaires in our midst with no other events where they can listen to Dorsey
Just where are the events for them?

A free speech zone, if you will.
