I guess it's the board's job to make sure that some kind of leadership
exists, but it's definitely not the board's place to make that kind of
decision. Otherwise someone would be asking prospective board members
whether they though Mono should be added to the bindings, and Beagle to
the platform.
Most technical questions are technical issues, and there is no need
for the board to concern itself with them. But this one is an
exception. Although the question is technical in form, the issue is
more legal and political than technical. It concerns questions such
as the impact of possible patents. Thus, it is a really a matter of
GNOME legal policy.
I think this is precisely the kind of question which the board should
decide.
