Under the Finnish law, the possible disbanding is
decided by a general meeting of the organization.
Usually the regulations state that the assets
of the organization are at that point donated
onwards to advancement of the organization's goals.
For us, that could mean that if the organization
were disbanded, the copyrights could be donated
to for example FSF.
However, I think it is better to have nothing
of where the donations should go at that event
written down to the regulations, but rather let
the general meeting decide that following some
guidelines set by the rules.
Reading from example regulations provided by
the bureau (Sääntömalli I - quick translation):
12. Modifications to regulations and disbanding of
the organization
The decision on modifying the regulations or
disbanding the organization has to be made
by a general meeting with at least three
quarters (3/4) majority vote. The meeting
invitation has to include a mention on modifying
rules or disbanding the organization.
In the event of disbanding the organization
its assets are used to advance the organization's
purposes in a way decided by the disbanding meeting.
When the organization is disbanded its financial
assets are also used on that same purpose.
Of course, I'm operating here on the notion that
we shouldn't be wanting to disband the organization
anytime soon. :-)
