Due to all the legal troubles that OBS is having with third-party forks, I would propose that OBS joins the Software Freedom Conservancy. What is that? Well, this is their own short introduction:

Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit organization centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the right to repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and defend these rights through fostering free and open source software (FOSS) projects, driving initiatives that actively make technology more inclusive, and advancing policy strategies that defend FOSS (such as copyleft).

Long answer short, they're pro-bone FLOSS lawyers used by projects like BusyBox, Git and OpenWRT. When you join them you get direct legal support (amongst other things) and you can make an effective fist against third-party forks who violate your license-terms and their users' rights.
