Well there is an agreement that if paul ever got tired of ai, lost interest, and wanted to
get rid of it then I would show up with a U-Haul to pick it up off the dock.
All this has happened before, all this will happen again.
Digex, sandstorm, ftp, etc. Funny I thought it would end with Paul.

Maybe, but what grounds would there be for a suit? If you donate to the museum, the thing
becomes their property, to dispose of as they see fit. That is, unless you have a
contract that says otherwise -- and even so, you'd have to hope that a court would
enforce a contract. There is ample precedent of courts disregarding the plain English
text of contracts or trusts to permit museums to do things prohibited by the terms of
agreements with donors. A recent one (name forgotten) in Pennsylvania comes to mind.

Hopefully the LCM will be sold as a going concern
rather than just a
firesale of the assets.
AFAIK, it's a 503(c), and I suspect if they started to
"fire sale" assets, lawsuits from folks that made significant donations would be
inbound.
