BTW, what is the legal entity that represents MacPorts? Is there a MacPorts Foundation? If so, who is on the board? If not, who is MacPorts?
Thanks for taking this on. The MacPorts Project is, legally, just a
collection of individuals. MacPorts is not a registered trademark.
(Neither is/was DarwinPorts.) We're not really happy about that being
the state of affairs, but when we looked into creating a legally
recognised organisation, we concluded that it would be too expensive.
