This was one of the problems identified with the definition of FOSSCOMM - a network of loose nodes. Assume that one of the nodes accepts money for a project on behalf of FOSSCOMM and then disappears, are the other nodes liable? How is the accounting going to be done? What is the legal framework that governs the functioning of FOSSCOMM? Is this a network to promote business for the nodes or is FOSSCOMM in itself a business entity? Then we come back to the original question: What is our CMP? -- Vikram Vincent +919448810822 http://swatantra.org/ http://fsmk.org/ _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
