The problem is that at least in the US, you can accidentally default to
a general partnership.
Effectively, if you are doing things together, and it cannot be shown
what you have instead, and mumble mumble I'm not a lawyer, a court may
conclude you are a general partnership.
So, it's more what steps have you taken to avoid being considered a
general partnership?
Unfortunately I cannot point to a lot of these steps for Debian.
