Hi,

- TeamOOo e.V: Association of the Hamburg engineers (primarily) --->  OOo
- FroDe.V, formerly OOoDe.V: users/community association in Germany
channelling funds under two separate accounts for LibreOffice and
OpenOffice, and also acting as the intermediary legal entity on behalf of
TDF.

exactly. Maybe two things to add (and Martin, feel free to correct me):

TeamOOo: donations are not tax-deductible, as not approved as not-for-profit, but thus more flexible in handling money spending outside of Germany.

FrODeV: donations are tax-deductible, we are approved as not-for-profit and as especially meritorius ("besonders förderungswürdig"), but thus a bit more limited in spending outside of Germany.

NB: every association can decide if they want to run for it or not, so it is *not* a governmental judgement.
