Re: incorporation
This thread seems to have taken a critical tone that is a bit
inappropriate, certainly from a legal standpoint. As a lawyer,
I would strongly recommend that those active in the debian
organization incorporate as a non-profit corporation. It is
is not true to say that by incorporating you have improperly
expanded anyone's potential liability. And as I believe Bruce
pointed out, it is an advantage, once incorporated, to request
501(c)(3) status, because then anyone donating money or time to
the entity can claim a charitable deduction without question.
As for persons who have volunteered their efforts to the debian
goal, certainly incorporation has not worsened their situation.
