Possibly relevant information: because ODFAuthors as an organisation has

FWIW, Under US Law, ODFAuthors is an unincorporated non profit

Inc_.
Precisely what rights that gives it, depends upon the state in which it
does business.
Hmm, interesting. What constitutes "doing business" in a state? Or in
the USA?
I can only guess..... Probably things such as selling a book. Apart
from that, probably not much.
Although a few contributors live in the USA, most of ODFAuthors
membership, and the server on which its website is hosted, are located
outside the USA.
Because I live in the USA, I am bound by the laws of the USA when I
post... You know, so if I knew things that the USA did not allow out of
the country, I could not post them. I think that cryptography used to be
an example, not sure if it still is.
