It looks like our social contract doesn't prohibit Gentoo from being

about the following addition to the Social Contract?

Gentoo will be run by the development community. We will never allow
ourselves to be reliant upon a single sponsor or corporation.
As I understand it, Gentoo is a "tax-exempt foundation" registered in
the state of New Mexico. As a result, there are legal restrictions on
"sponsorship", etc. Before modifying the "Social Contract", I'd
recommend consulting an attorney with expertise in such matters. The
last thing Gentoo needs is major legal hassles.
