1. Free Software Foundation Europe has a program to help you set up a
trust. It's called the Freedom Task Force:

2. Software Freedom Law Center can help with that too or with a

Non-profit Corporate Assistance
SFLC helps FOSS projects develop and maintain legal status to help
ensure their longevity. SFLC assists its clients with all stages of
corporate existence, including formation and tax exemption, and helps
projects with their contracts and governance. SFLC established and
continues to serve as counsel to the Software Freedom Conservancy
<http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/>, which provides an alternative
to independent corporate formation for FOSS projects. SFLC directly
represents many of the most significant existing FOSS conservancies, and
provides formation assistance for new projects seeking to create similar
conservancies. SFLC is also able to represent its clients in
negotiations in a variety of situations.
