They do not own the projects or anything of the sort. SPI handles the money, that is it! There are no legal services of the SPI to retain. They are not a legal body. They use the SFLC for legal matters. The SFLC is a legal body. Gentoo has contacted the SFLC in the past. As well as outside pro-bono counsel. > They wouldn't own the project. They would own our assets. They > wouldn't control anything. Incorrect, they handle the money. They do NOT handle assets. The SPI is VERY limited, and why anyone speaking of the SPI really has no clue about them clearly!!! -- William L.
