Peter,

I agree with your conclusions and I have applied the suggested changes
in Drupal.  The "To support the collaborative development of open source
geospatial software, and promote its widespread use" mission is the one
we agreed on as a board, way back, so I agree it is the one to reuse.

Let me know if I botched the edit or misconstrued your intent.

Best regards,
