[Foundation-l] Litigation costs

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
It is our admins that enforce policies. It is the collectivity of a project
that fails in its duty to ensure that our data can be published under the
license we claim our data is available under.

If you want to have it worded in a different way: it is up to all of us to
ensure that our projects conform to the license that we make them available
under.
Thanks,
     GerardM
