8 SPI does not want property just money. They do not own the projects or
9 anything of the sort. SPI handles the money, that is it!

11 There are no legal services of the SPI to retain. They are not a legal body.
12 They use the SFLC for legal matters. The SFLC is a legal body. Gentoo has
13 contacted the SFLC in the past. As well as outside pro-bono counsel.

18 Incorrect, they handle the money. They do NOT handle assets.
