| Afaik, none. It was a surprise to me too when I got the bill. My |
| 7 |
| lawyer just billed the Foundation-related expenses to the Gentoo |
| 8 |
| Foundation directly rather than Gentoo Technologies, Inc.. And it |
| 9 |
| is really no difference either way, it's mainly an accounting |
| 10 |
| issue. The important point is that donations are being recorded and |
| 11 |
| set aside, as well as foundation-related expenses. So rather than |
| 12 |
| having me pay for these expenses and you not knowing about them, |
| 13 |
| you will now have a tally of the expenses as well as donations and |
| 14 |
| be able to see where the money is going... and if it has nowhere to |
| 15 |
| go, it goes to the Foundation's bank account. |

Cool! Thanks for letting us know. I'm with you there, I would rather |
| 18 |
us know about them. |

| I am setting aside all donations received by the Store, so money |
| 21 |
| left over beyond the legal expenses will go direct to the |
| 22 |
| Foundation. Since it looks like the Foundation is getting some good |
| 23 |
| free legal help, hopefully this will be sooner rather than later. |
| 24 |
| Can this lawyer do free trademark registration? If yes and she is |
| 25 |
| able to take that process over from peacocklaw.com, that could end |
| 26 |
| up saving around $3000 of future legal bills. |

This may be possible. John would be more suitable to answer this one. |

| Also, one comment about your mention of the Foundation running a |
| 31 |
| Store... part of the agreement of me leaving the project is that I |
| 32 |
| get to run the store for as long as I choose. My understanding of |
| 33 |
| this is that the Foundation does not have an option of opening up a |
| 34 |
| competing store for as long as I choose to run the official store. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I must have misunderstood.. I thought you had mentioned at one time |
| 37 |
that you didn't mind handing the store over, but we didn't (and still |
| 38 |
don't) have anyone to operate it. |
