The TDF certainly seems confident. People (and corporations) are often reluctant to accept claims from campaigning organisations without public evidence. Hopefully, we might be able to work together to establish clearly and in public where the TDF is today and where it might be tomorrow. >> Good to see the list...

(I'll try to avoid asking too many questions at once) 1. What would constrain this legal entity from closed sourcing these assets or selling them? 2. What would transfer of assets achieve for the TDF that a license would not?
