After Gentoo Linux has become an associated project of Software in the |

Public Interest (SPI) [#SPI]_, the Gentoo Council will be responsible |
| 256 |
for granting of license exceptions and resolution of copyright issues, |
| 257 |
instead of the Gentoo Foundation Trustees. The Council may confer |
| 258 |
with SPI for issues that it cannot resolve itself. |
