[Buildroot] [PATCH] docs/website: add page for the Buildroot Association

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

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

Actually, it was intentional to use the term "foundation" in as many
places as possible. 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.

Thanks,
