The charter is a legal document filed with the State of New Mexico, it's |
| 9 |
the document that permits the Gentoo Foundation to exist as a legal |
| 10 |
entity. Because of unfiled paperwork etc etc the charter is no longer |
| 11 |
current and valid, and the Gentoo Foundation does not exist as a legal |
| 12 |
entity. On a code basis, it means that the Gentoo "G" logo, all ebuilds |
| 13 |
in the tree and portage itself now are not owned by anyone. Of course |
| 14 |
this is a dangerous position for those copyrights and logos to be in. |
