Hi

Just for quick reference, I have read this proposal previously with 
following comments:


For now I am not declining, at least (from becoming a gatekeeper).

It finally depends a lot of the final structure of this hierarchy and 
what goals it sets.

One thing you need to add to this document is how project leaders plan 
to proceed with on-going and further violations of GPL copyright holders 
rights, as IBV/ODM/OEM chain refuses to make the distributed firmware 
binaries traceable to the sources they were built from.
