Assuming that you refer to ffis e.V. I guess so, but you should
contact vorstand@ffis.de when you definitifely plan to go that
way.

Please inspect this with the authorities first, and find out which
kind of papers need to be supplied with the machine, as it would
be really bad if such a thing would happen again and/or you'd
end up with enourmous taxes.
