They're currently owned by a VoIP provider that I would guess uses some of the Jitsi tech in-house. They've been through a few acquisitions at this point and continue to maintain their free software, so I'm optimistic they'll continue to do so.

Exactly my question. The old adage "if you're not paying for it then you're the product" makes me worried to try Jitsi, unless they come out clean about their business model.
