Its the trustees that decide. The social contract is a part of the Foundation charter |
| 14 |
and its the Foundation that will probably be the target of any lawsuits. |
| 15 |
Its not beyond the bounds of possibility that a suit could be raised against named |
| 16 |
individuals, then the Foundation involvement is less clear. |

That's a whole new discussion on Gentoo metastructure and this is not the thread to |
| 18 |
have that discussion in. |

Its up to the board of trustees whos opinion(s) they take into account. They only answer |
| 21 |
to the Foundation members but there is precedence for seeking the opinions of the |
| 22 |
entire developer body. |

As is typical in volunteer organisations, its those that feel passionate about the topic |
| 25 |
that will drive it. |

For the avoidance of doubt, this post contains my thoughts as an individual. |

It does not represent the formal position of the Gentoo Foundation Inc. |
