How so?? Legally, Debian has the legal stance of a "Club". It is not a
for-profit with Corporate Responsibilities towards share holders and/or the
Government, who authorizes and spells out the said protections and
responsibilities of a Legally Incorporated Corporation.
I was thinking in terms of journalism and analysis.


Actually, there is quite a bit of law and case law regarding "unincorporated associations" - which is technically what Debian is. It has bylaws and officers. And there's also Software in the Public Interest, which acts as fiscal agent.
