Hi Stuart, Yes, that's the goal, to support a registered charity. This type of organization is common in the Open Source Software world in general, but not with BSD it seems. You are correct, charities have extra legal requirements.
To clarify, I'm looking for something with a similar structure at the US PostgreSQL Association (which is a registered 501(c)(3) public charitable entity), but for BSD or OpenBSD. Thank you, Katie Please keep replies on-list. ________________________________ From: Katherine Mcmillan <kmcmi...@uottawa.ca> Sent: 29 August 2023 08:27 To: Janne Johansson <icepic...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Supporting the OpenBSD Project through a Registered Charity Hi Janne, The OpenBSD Foundation functions as a Foundation, not as a Registered Charity.
