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.
This is now my understanding as well. Chris (Schmidt) and I had a
discussion about this the other day. I was interested in seeing if the
OSGeo member projects' steering committees could actually be recognized
as some sort of legal entity by becoming a member project.
It sounds like the PSC representative for a member project automagically
becomes an officer of the foundation, giving them the ability to make
licensing decisions on behalf of the foundation.
That's tidy.

Sounds like the process goes like this (if OSGeo holds copyright):
1) PSC votes on license
2) PSC chair advises OSGeo board
3) OSGeo board decides on license
Tim,
Actually the steps would be:
1) PSC votes on license
2) PSC chair declares motion passed, and directs the license update
on behalf of OSGeo.
You could notify the board as a courtesy but it isn't required.
Best regards,
