We have always had control over the Proton brands. Proton has just two outside investors, FONGIT and CRV, and neither has anywhere near a controlling interest. We do take your concerns seriously though, and will aim for even more transparency.
There is an About Us link towards the bottom of the page, and the company name Proton AG is spelled out in the article as well as at the bottom of the page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_AG
this was really shady business imho, especially that this "announcement" by the original author was made AFTER the ownership transfer had already taken place. there's a big discussion on the original project's GitHub page for anyone who's interested https://github.com/ParticleCore/Particle/issues/528
It's interesting how often you mention they were acquired by someone else but not by whom. It cannot be a secret, but you don't seem to want the parent company known either.
I just spent an hour going down the rabbit hole. Every time I click the "owned by" link, another "owned by" reference appears.
