The company is the one currently exploring the legality of it with their lawyers and why there's a blank space to include a link to the agreement for everyone to read once it's approved. One of the main points that's being explored is if the DAO can own it outright or if it would need a legal entity to own it on its behalf. I'd rather it be directly owned by the DAO outright than any entity as any entity beyond the DAO is a point of failure. That said you've raised similar concerns that I did about whether or not the DAO as a truly decentralized organization would be able to enforce or assert any rights over an IP.
As far as some secret collaboration and controlling what's known... not really sure where that's coming from unless there's just some assumption I don't actually communicate things to you guys? I get plenty of crap for putting out too many proposals and asking the community to decide too many things that some people feel are a waste of time or should just be company decisions... so it's kind of the polar opposite opinion of what other people have told me, but I guess it is what it is. To me it's more important that the DAO is informed and able to vote on major decisions so that suggestion isn't reflective of my personal beliefs or approach to interacting with the DAO.
If the DAO feels I'm not trustworthy or acting in its best interest it is capable of replacing me with whoever it thinks would better do so.
