As I understand it, Gentoo is a "tax-exempt foundation" registered in |
| 14 |
the state of New Mexico. As a result, there are legal restrictions on |
| 15 |
"sponsorship", etc. Before modifying the "Social Contract", I'd |
| 16 |
recommend consulting an attorney with expertise in such matters. The |
| 17 |
last thing Gentoo needs is major legal hassles. |
