[OSGeo-Discuss] role of foundation with regard to licensing

[Brian Russo]

So to sum up the themes of this thread..

OSGeo really just acts as an administrative body within with projects can
have some legal "existence", but effectively has no say on day-to-day tasks
involving projects, etc.

The actual direction of the projects "sponsored" by OSGeo is really the
responsibility of the relevant committee/developers.

Miss anything relevant?
