Yes, but some of those are harder to answer. I've written up a draft |
| 9 |
transfer doc that, if approved by both parties, would certainly solve |
| 10 |
the first two issues. Legal counsel will certainly need to get |
| 11 |
involved, and unfortunately that's something that trustees (both the |
| 12 |
current ones and the soon-to-be-elected ones) are not |
| 13 |
allowed to talk about, since doing so could break privilege. |

What exactly is "the store situation" that needs to be fixed? The |
| 16 |
agreement between the Gentoo Foundation and Daniel Robbins was that the |
| 17 |
store would be run by Daniel Robbins for some set period of time |
| 18 |
(currently proposed as one year from the date of the copyright |
| 19 |
transfer), in exchange for the copyright transfer.. After that time |
| 20 |
running of the store reverts to the Foundation, but what happens at that |
| 21 |
point has not yet been decided. |
