Technically, we will sign some kind of agreement with safeguards against that but I'm not convinced we'd be able to legally pursue them (unless some fancy 'open source' lawyer volunteers to help us). That said, it's no different with Gentoo Foundation that isn't legally obliged to care about Gentoo at all (and have historically refused to fix that). I'm not accusing anyone, just saying that technically it is possible for GF to take full control over Gentoo assets. Of course, there's a good chance that they 'know better', especially that the Freenode incident proved that asset ownership is no match for community. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
