No, they're not. Don't be pedantic that it's native because it is written in Rust or whatever, that's clearly not what was meant.

This highlights the value of having non-profits as a 501(c)(3). The transparency about Hack Club is refreshing. The Rust Foundation is a 501(c)(6) and not a 501(c)(3). The Rust Foundation would do better for the community if they were a 501(c)(3) and more transparent about finances. Follow this example for the greater good.

But there was a values tension, and resulting values clash with someone who fell firmly on one side of the tension, seemingly a bit self-righteous in not feeling it to be a tension at all.
I find the tension totally understandable and even healthy, and not something to "just fix" in a clear way, as the youth might have readers believe.
My synopsis here got the +1 from a staff, so I'm assuming my experience in messy organizing gives me a decent read of the complexity of the situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45917234
