1. What is the Vector Institute? Is a foundation? Is it a not-for-profit corporation? Something else?
2. Who controls it? The government (which has put in most of the announced funding)? The University of Toronto? Google? A combination of all of those?
3. Who will own the work created by the Institute? How will it be licensed, and what rules will govern its publication?
These are questions that would be answered at a very early stage of an ordinary research partnership between a public university and a corporation, but I can find none of these details about Vector.
