I wonder what kind of tax and/or bookkeeping implications this has for the
donating company... How do you give some nonexistant entity some of your
property, but then claim it's actually still yours - you just have no control
over it?
In the company I work for, where they need reciepts even for lunch (yeah
right, it's like I won't eat lunch one day just to screw the company and
extract 20 shekels from them!), asking the purchasing guys to donate something
for a non-incorporated organization would probably give them goose-bumps :)
But I hope these things won't deter any company thinking of donating hardware
(after all, so far you had good success in keeping www.linux.org.il
well-hardwared).
