after some discussion on other lists, I think we should add something
after:

"The openSUSE Foundation is the financial and legal body of the
openSUSE Project. "

in fact the present project only speak about openSUSE trademark. We
should add that we have to keep informed and vigilant about openSUSE
respecting the trademarks and licences of other people.

In fact we should have (in a near future) some sort of "legal team",
with members and eventually lawyers (specially if we have no lawyer
among the members), to deal with the licence problem;

There are much too many licences used now among the applications used
in the openSUSE distribution (not to speak about same problems for
weekly news or any doc).

There is a team in place today as part of the release process that performs
this function. That process will definitely continue.
