It seems the SPI was created for Debian. All the rest is a side benefit, as it |
| 17 |
mainly exists for Debian. I think any project Liaison should be able to be an |
| 18 |
adviser. I do not like that 2 projects get leaders as Adviser's and not |
| 19 |
others. |

Also not sure if the SPI has ever handled legal matters in any capacity for |
| 22 |
any project. Trademark enforcement, etc. Should be fairly easy to find record |
| 23 |
of such. Most every country makes court proceedings public record in some |
| 24 |
capacity. |
