I concur, especially since all it really says is "if we establish elsewhere |
| 17 |
we'll do it according to the relevant local laws." That's a given. |

I agree Gentoo is far more likely to establish in another nation-state than a |
| 20 |
US state, since it's basically a global venture. Perhaps stating that as a |
| 21 |
possibility (or more simply that Gentoo is an international project) is a |
| 22 |
good idea, in the sense of establishing that it is part of the stated aims, |
| 23 |
so that any Board doing so would not be open to an accusation of acting ultra |
| 24 |
vires. |
