Our Constitution, section 9.2:

        Since Debian has no authority to hold money or property, any
        donations for the Debian Project must be made to SPI, which
        manages such affairs.
        
I think this is rather outdated; when it was written, the only
organization that held money and property for Debian was the SPI. These
days there's more. There is no point in forcing people to transfer money
from, say, Finland to the US, just because of this clause in the
Constitution.
