There is no reason why there could not be a proper foundation that acts
as custodian for e.g. technical infrastructure, and holds eventual
trademarks and decides on licensing policies for these etc. and a wider
council that is composed of all contributors.
Nah... it's a legal nightmare.
Some people (Foundation's members) would have all duties and other
people (outside supporters with vote in the steering council) all rights
and no duty.
I think in this case, no individuals, but the foundation would hold the
rights.
Liability is not just a word when decisions are made.
There is no reason why decisions like "which GUI to adopt" etc cannot be
voted on by a wider community (which is organized and blessed by the
TDF).
That's another matter.
The members of the Foundation can decide that some kind of problems can
be solved even by a public poll.
However, the *members* of the *Foundation* *decide*. Of course, it's so
*if* this foundation has to have a steering role in the community, only.
I agree with this concept but more like this: The Document Foundation
would have more of a steering role in the community and the projects
underneath become more members of their respective projects. In this
case LibO. Pyramid style with the Foundation at the top.
