Daniel, |

|
| 31 |
If you research the time line you will find posts on -nfp that indicate |
| 32 |
that the foundation problem was being raised within Gentoo before |
| 33 |
drobbins infamous blog post. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
As some/all of the assets that were supposed to transfer to the |
| 36 |
foundation were still owned by drobbins, its likely (this is |
| 37 |
speculation on my part) that someone was talking to him about |
| 38 |
completing the transfer. It follows that he knew what was going on with |
| 39 |
respect to resolving the gentoo foundation issue *before* he made his |
| 40 |
blog post. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
That backs up what Steve Long is saying. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Incidently, the Foundation is a peculiarly USA legal device. So its |
| 45 |
important in the USA only. Its existence (or not) only changes the way |
| 46 |
Gentoos assets are owned. It does not affect the way the technical part |
| 47 |
of Gentoo operates. Indeed, as a part of his leaving Gentoo, drobbins |
| 48 |
set up the council and foundation as separate bodies. Its a bit of a |
| 49 |
mystery why he needs control of both bodies to resolve what is purely a |
| 50 |
foundation issue. |
