I think for Nvidia it was individual DDs a long time ago.
Asking the DPL for help is certainly reasonable, and if you need legal
resources to review an agreement Debian can in theory help with that.
Although the turn around time for actual lawyer review has how shall we
say been variable for a variety of factors.

I'd reach out to DDs working for Purism and see if they have any advice
and how they approached this.
They may already have a contact.
