how about said companies simply employ(part time even)/pay core devs for 
working on openwrt? 

if they really want to give back tax deductability shouldn't be an issue. there 
are costs of business that are not deductible. why should openwrt people be 
forced into forming/maintaining organizational infrastructure, when they could 
spend that time enhancing openwrt instead.
