the NFP is to solve a long time issue of the constant rumors that the |
| 12 |
managers are going to run off with Gentoo and turn it into a profitable |
| 13 |
business. a "Not For Profit" would prevent that (as the name suggests). |

This problem seems to be a much bigger problem as the lack of funding.. |

~ because, although a lot of people aren't as vocal as others, many |
| 17 |
people want to leave if this is not done. whereas they will continue to |
| 18 |
stick around without funding much like they do now. |
