I obviously agree on all points, except one where I have a comment (not really a full disagreement).

Even if the french authorities rejected the legal name "Buildroot Foundation", because "foundation" has a very specific meaning in terms of legal entity in France, I thought "foundation" was the english word that carried best what this organization was. Is "association" really the proper word in english to describe a not-for-profit legal entity ? > > +

I don't think it's really needed. It's pretty common for associations/foundations to have the possibility of vetoing memberships, and it's a sufficiently rare event that it's probably not worth mentioning on this page.
