+* Discussions at the Git Contributor Summit, part 2, about misc topics
+
+At the Git Contributor Summit on April 4th, just after the lunch
+break, the state of the participation of the Git project in the Google
+Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreachy was briefly mentioned, then Jeff
+King, alias Peff, talked about the state of the Git project as part of
+the [Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)](https://sfconservancy.org/).
+
+Git is one of the SFC Member Projects. The SFC manages the legal and
+administrative aspects of the Git project. The SFC also manages Git's
+money, which amounts to around $20000. This money comes mostly from
+donations made on git-scm.org, GSoC mentor stipends and book
+royalties. The money has been used in the past to pay for some
+developers to travel to conferences like Git Merge. It may be used in
+the future to pay Outreachy student stipends.
+
+The governance of the Git project as part of the SFC is in the hands
+of Junio Hamano, Shawn Pearce and Jeff King. The main activity of the
+governance consists in handling trademark issues related to the "Git"
+trademark that the project owns.
+
+There are a number of projects who call themselves Git XXX and the
+trademark policy on git-scm.org is used to decide if those trademarks
+are approved or not.
+
+Another activity is related to defending the license which is the
+GPL. There have been some vendors who distributed Git with some
+changes, but did not provide the source code of the Git version they
+distributed. For now it has been possible to resolve these cases, but
+it is not completely clear if some vendors currently fullfill all
+their obligations. In case some developers who contributed to Git
+wants to take a close look at what the vendors are doing, the SFC can
+help them.
