Editing Governance organization

A '''governance organization''' is a group that oversees some [[content]] or [[software]] to be sure its [[license]] is respected.  They also approve any modification to that license.  The [[FSF]] and [[X/Open]] are such orgs.  The best practices of such organizations should be summarized here so that we can copy the best ones in the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]].

In [[shared source]], the governance organization is the main vendor itself, e.g. [[Microsoft]].

In some [[open source]] variants, the organization is also responsible for some other things, e.g. the [[BSD]] license refers to the Regents of the University of California as its governance organization.
