I agree with this not being a board priority for a different reason. Any clarification of the decision making process isn't going to change the nature of the chair who retains veto power and in the current governance model must be a full time Red Hat employee. As long as this is the case, ultimately Red Hat retains the rights to change the default license any time they want . Default license for code is extremely permissive anyway and hence I don't expect a change to be necessary. However FPCA doesn't mandate the use of a Free and open source license as the default. It seems somewhat vague about this. That, I think is a point of concern.
