I don't actually understand what that whining about tax deduction is about. If tax deduction means, for example, that you get 25% of your donation back from the tax offices, then you can just donate 75% of what you'd donate to a tax deductable organization to OpenBSD, and the net result for your company/corporation/... is the same, and OpenBSD at least got *some* money. What's the problem with that? Kind regards, Hannah. PS: And what would it help the rest of the world if there were a tax deductible foundation in the US? PS2: If you actually need it, why don't you just *create* a foundation "friends of OpenBSD, US", do the paperwork to make it a recognized charity with the purpose to support OpenBSD development, e.g. by funding people working for OpenBSD, or by funding hotel stays/travel costs for hackatons? Then the OpenBSD project proper wouldn't have the hassles with all the paperwork etc.
