Just for a slight bit of balance, I will point out that SFC seems primarily connected to the Software Freedom Law Center meaning that they likely have several lawyers available as resources. That said, we do have one pro bono lawyer working with us as well. If you think you will have significant requirements for legal advice or legal work (e.g. the recent news surrounding BusyBox), and that this will be more important than money and donation management, SFC probably has advantages, though SPI can still satisfy all those needs as well. If your legal needs are secondary to your money and donation management needs, including having tax-deductible donation partners in some European countries as you've noticed, SPI seems to be a good fit. You can't really go wrong with either option. I have more familiarity with SPI (see my signature below) and so my comments about SPI should be considered as more reliable than my comments about SFC. - Jimmy Kaplowitz, former SPI director and treasurer [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
