Re: SPI resolution 2016.05.01.bg.1: ArduPilot as associated project

That sounds like a sensible idea in principle for all future projects.

In addition to having a lawyer review the final wording, I would
suggest there be some minimum time period as well before
the SPI can move earmarked funds under this clause (e.g. six
months or a year)?
