I would like to know:
* What is the common practice with other open source fundation?
(OpenOffice.org, Mozilla)?
* Is the bylaws a garantee good enough that the project will stay
OpenSource?
I tend to trust OSGeo and would probably be okay with a one way
declaration. I'm aware of the "MathWorld" sad story, but it was a deal
with a for-profit publisher. This is not the case of OSGeo (it will stay
a not-for-profit organization, isn't it?)
