At one time we were going to create a non-profit organization to do things like own the trademarks (gEDA icons and the look of the website), and also accept donations and disburse funds to student developers. THis idea died quietly, since the hassle of incorporating, keeping track of the quartly tax filings, etc, seems large compared to the amount of money and other assets whcih are part of the gEDA project. If somebody can convince me that we're reaching a point where incorporating a non-profit makes sense, I'm all ears. Alternately, if the FSF (or similar organization) has an "affiliates program" that might be worth looking into .
