Rich, There are two separate issue here and they have separate timescales for being addressed. We need to comply with the GPL now and always, so we should do as Duncan suggests. Take down old binaries now and post sources with new binaries. e.g. the liveDVDs. Sorting out our internal structure is a separate issue to address in slower time but it needs to be done before something goes wrong because there just won't be time then. -- Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods trustees
