Very relevant topic. Zimbabwe is also considering registering as a non-profit organisation. Being a part of another non-profit organisation (Round Table), I don't think we'd have any "legality" problems in Zimbabwe (as long as we keep audited accounts), provided that this is 'allowed' by the Ubuntu Community. It would be particularly important for us in Zimbabwe since, with our current economic situation, there are often shortages of cash and donations can only be received into a bank account. To open a bank account, we would need to be a formal association.
