Sure they are free to use their money as they want. I'm not fan of any kind of control of people, I don't like "bigbrothers"!
What I'm talking about is you receive funds and at same time powerdown your stake (not the funds), what type of commitment do you have with those (community) that fund you?
Imagine you get money to promote coca-cola and have all your money in pepsi, for me it's ok, you are free to have your money where you want, if you want put everything in eggs it's ok to me. But if I was coca-cola I wouldn't pay you a cent!
