True, but generally that list isn't exclusive -- you just have to work
harder convincing the tax people that your activity merits tax-exempting
donations. For instance, developing a free text-to-speech system would
probably qualify (it benefits blind people), while a free device driver
for controlling industrial robots probably wouldn't.

Disclaimer: Again, that's the approximate situation in Germany.
