It depends entirely what country you are in, and their respetive tax laws.
I would have to assume that the amounts of money being sent would not be
enough to be of concern to most taxmen.
at the moment abiword is a non profit volunteer group so it may be
considered a donation.
if you are looking to donate *large* sums and deduct for it against your
taxes im sure arrangements could be made, just there has never been the
demand before.
