This should SFLC/Eben Moglen. I don't know where "Greg" came from. |

|

I went digging in old meeting logs & email archives, and confirmed |
10 |
that the Matthew Summers (on behalf of the Foundation) DID previously |
11 |
engage the SFLC, but from outward appearances somebody repeatedly |
12 |
dropped the ball, and we were shunted between counsel numerous times. |

Karen Sandler -> ?? -> Karen Sandler -> Aaron Williamson -> ?? -> (trail goes cold). |

2009-Aug/Sept: Initial response from Daniel B. Ravicher (Legal Director |
17 |
@ SFLC) |
18 |
|

In 2010, our SFLC counsel seemed to be very busy, and not have much |
20 |
time for us. The contact point was specifically Karen Sandler (confirmed |
21 |
in 2011-Dec). |
22 |
|
23 |
2011-Jan: something happened at SFLC, quantumsummers stated in the |
24 |
meeting logs we were assigned to a "junior attorney", no further detail |
25 |
was provided in logs or trustee emails. |
26 |
|
27 |
2011-Mar: No progress had been made with the SFLC, and the decision was |
28 |
made to drop the SFLC (A donation to them was also considered). Form |
29 |
1023 was specifically mentioned. |
30 |
|
31 |
2011: Apr through Sep: Still no responses from SFLC. |
32 |
|
33 |
2011-Nov: Note that Karen has moved to "software conservancy or gnome |
34 |
foundation" |
35 |
|
36 |
2012-Feb: New contact point at SFLC, 'Aaron Williamson'. |
37 |
|
38 |
2013-Jan: Mention of SFLC & Form 1023 in the logs, no details. |
39 |
|
40 |
2013-Jul: Matthew Summers again notes that "our previous fellow left and |
41 |
did not give notice to us", I presume this was Aaron Williamson. Also |
42 |
that he spoke to Eben Moglen, and 'we have a new council now', but no |
43 |
details as to who that was. |
44 |
|
45 |
2014-Mar: The SFLC trail goes dead at this point. |
