OpenClaw, Open Source, OpenCore, OpenA

OpenClaw's rapid evolution, a still-empty foundation and new native integrations raise a familiar question for anyone who has watched open source ecosystems mature.
By now most people following the AI industry know the basic storyline. Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, joined OpenAI earlier this year. Around the same time a new OpenClaw foundation appeared that is supposed to house the project going forward.
That part is not news anymore.
What is more interesting is what has happened since.
If you spend a little time looking at the project today, a few things jump out. The foundation website exists, but there is almost nothing there. No governance structure. No board. No charter. Just a logo and a placeholder.
