Actually much of the hardware that supports gentoo is owned by or lend |
| 14 |
to the foundation. The trustees have legal control over that (while |
| 15 |
infrastructure has technical control), so if it comes to a pissing |
| 16 |
context, the foundation would probably win. It is not a situation anyone |
| 17 |
would want to get into. There is no other formal relationship between |
| 18 |
the foundation and the council. |
