[OSGeo-Board] Bylaws posted

[Markus Neteler]

Rich,

if you don't mind, I have a couple of questions. Basically
due to the missing background of US laws etc.

* just curious: why is it Delaware? Is this simply the common place to
  go for such corporations?

* article I: talks only about software and OSI licenses, do we want to
  mention data/education as well (CC licenses etc)?

* article IV: sec 4.2, second paragraph. Does it make sense to add/suggest
  digitally signed messages via GnuPG? I would at least recommend the
  use of GnuPG.

* article VI: sec 6.2: mentions only software projects, not data nor
education.

* article Vi: sec 6.3: to better understand - which influence do the
communities
  have here? Does this definition permit to define a PSC which may be
completey
  offtopic for a project (just in theory)? Maybe I am getting this totally
wrong...

* article VIII, sec 8.4: 60 days max is not much for planning ahead. Does
this
  limitation matter in real life then?

Maybe something has been already ansered, but due to traveling I cannot
follow the discussions closely till end of the week.

thanks

 Markus
