It relates to some patches for openstack.
> @tcarrez on nous a fait clairement comprendre qu'il y a aucun espoir de reprendre nos patchs sur MOVE si c'est pas dans la roadmap/sponsor.
We were clearly made to understand that there was no hope to take our MOVE work if it wasn't in the roadmap/sponsor.
> on veut pas de nos patchs. nos besoins ne sont pas dans la roadmap. il faut payer pour la modifier.
Our patches aren't wanted. Our needs aren't on the roadmap. You have to pay to change it.
Thierry Carrez is the OpenStack release manager, sits on the technical committee, and posted some links on OpenStack's open governance (which don't mention a roadmap; the term may have been used loosely). As long as they keep talking[1], this may still end well for everyone.

v2 of the Apache license has been declared GPL v3 compatible which is why some people think there is an explicit code sharing clause when there isn't (IIRC if you mix GPLv3 and ALv2 code the result should be considered GPLv3).
That considered OVH aren't talking about not taking part as the licenses says they should which settles my mind on that count, though they have marked themmselves as a company I probably wouldn't want to work for.
