Question about a "Nagios Foundation"

[Evan Read]

Hello,

I am currently on a project team that is evaluating options for 
monitoring student laboratories and, of course, Nagios is a major contender.

We have done much of the evaluation but a few questions remain on the 
long term future of Nagios.  The Apache Foundation is a body that 
represents the open source project in a legal and organisational sense 
and, most importantly to our clients:

    "ensure that the Apache projects continue to exist beyond the
    participation of individual volunteers, to enable contributions of
    intellectual property and funds on a sound basis, and to provide a
    vehicle for limiting legal exposure while participating in
    open-source software projects"

Although development is roaring ahead now and the future of the software 
looks good, we wondered whether any discussion has taken place regarding 
the possible formation of a Nagios Foundation to support the code 
similar to the Apache Foundation supports their projects?

Any comments from the authors of the software or links to discussion are 
appreciated.  I haven't been able to find much in my searches.

Thank you.
