Another consideration - Lightcurve is a blockchain consulting company. It is a way Max and Oliver can be paid to work on other cryptocoins besides Lisk. So establishing Lightcurve almost certainly means Max and Oliver will not be spending 100% of their time on Lisk in the future.
Mal you make it sound so negative. Lightcurve is simply an LTD that enables its employees to be legally registered in Berlin and to get paid by the Lisk foundation in Switzerland.
