I would call the "legal" issue a organisation issue or maybe a timing
issue. There was no legal problem AFAICR - we've participated in GSoC
before.

Canonical handled the money bits the last time and I think that's going
to make sense this time as well.

Please let me know as soon as you have any details to pass on.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
