FLA by FSFE should be considered

FSFE's FLA should be considered in more detail by participants. It is a contract where the fiduciary "guarantees to use the rights and licences transferred in strict accordance with the regulations imposed by Free Software licences". In the event that the fiduciary "violates the principles of Free Software, all granted rights and licences shall automatically return to the Beneficiary and the licences granted hereunder shall be terminated and expire."

This is a fair deal.
