Shouldn’t Licensing and IP be put in the statutes so that no Board, in the future, could change that decision?

The inventor has well-educated opinions on licensing an IP and is very well-suited to assess future changes and adapt to them for the well-being of the open-source KERI Suite.

That is why his role needs to be able to veto changes. In the future, when Samuel Smith steps back for any reason, we could adjust the statutes so that no board can change that decision in the future.
