11 The Gentoo charter was revoked, so in the eyes of New Mexico, it does
12 not exist as a legal entity anymore, and thus does not have the
13 privileges that go with it. Unless the Foundation specifically passed
14 the rights on to some other legally recognized entity before it ceased
15 to exist, then the transfer of rights being nullified would return the
16 rights to Daniel. I'm not a lawyer, but that is my understanding of how
17 it works. If you can find some laws that say that this is wrong, then
18 super duper.

20 At any rate, all of the points I have made still stand. ;)
