Thanks Brian. As a matter of fact, I discuss with Bradley (Conservancy's Executive Director) fairly regularly and I've in the past discussed with him the possibilities of benefiting of SF Conservancy services as Debian Project. The problem is that SF Conservancy, for various good reasons, adopt a more "exclusive" model than SPI. They generally do not welcome projects that have assets (of various kinds) scattered throughout different organizations, which is the case for Debian. This has been a blocker in the past. It *might* be that voluntary copyright assignments are a special case, especially if SPI does not offer that "service", but I very much doubt it. Either way, several people active in SF Conservancy people are also active on SPI mailing list, so we won't miss chances of collaborating on this if there are some!
