the other thing the foundation is responsible for is protecting |
| 26 |
copyright, in this case there isn't a significant issue, but it needs to |
| 27 |
keep track of, and defend against, others using the Gentoo brand for |
| 28 |
various cases (since most of Gentoo Foundation IP is tied to the |
| 29 |
logo/brand) and no anything related to the actual code (that belongs to |
| 30 |
other copyright owners) |
