-----Original Message----- From: phil grainger <freebsd@pronet.net.au> >well I appreciate from a theoretical point of view that the bsd copyright >may be more pure, >Maybe we should advocate freebsd inc. becoming a registered charity just to >maintain the legal and ideological purity. jordan, is freebsd, inc a non-profit organization? you'll need to hire an extra secretary for that paperwork, though. maybe? then at some point sales would become contributions. two bar codes on a product, with two prices? computer issue charitable contribution irs forms twice in the spring. this would an interesting shareware experiment. or even more prices on the box the store can sell - the year contract. i don't think a non-profit organization can issue stock, though, and it really has zero to do with the copyright on the code. -jack >maybe advocacy is becoming an irrelevent part of the freebsd project. no, not at all. i think it needs to be a little better organized. like, some web page project boards. +voting boards tied to project boards.
