I don't see the options as limited "form a legal entity like a not-for-profit" (lots of work) or "let maemo.org die", though. For example, what about using an *existing* legal entity? Specifically, Nemein: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1072725#post1072725 Short version: through some mechanism would Nemein be willing to take on more with money coming in from three sources, whilst simulataneously responsible for reducing costs (and, indeed, driven to): * Community donations/subscriptions via $PAYMENT_METHOD. * Own budgets as a loss-leader to demonstrate Nemein's skills to prospects for larger contracts. * Nokia at a lower-level of money and still providing trademark usage & grants (for example).
