2) Alternative would be setting up as an 'unincorporated association'.
An unincorporated association has no legal existence apart from its members.
Consequently it cannot be sued nor can it sue nor can it enter into contracts.
This would obviate all legal liability but would also make it tougher to form
a uniform licensing system?
The elks and other fraternal organisations are often unincorporated
associations.
If people think that
1) a licensing agreement can be set up by consensus (i'm sceptical)
2) no business would be done by the association
3) liability risk is too great (i do not think so especially since a person
concerned with liability becomes an associate - which BTW is why associates do
not have votes the idea being to cut them out of any liability loop. Since
anyone is free to use the warez or form another business there is no question
of cutting them out of the "pie")
If 1+2+3 = True then an unincorporated association could be an option and
possibly a better one.
Sorry for confusing the issue but I want you to know
1) all the options
2) we can do any option
I presume the idea of a corporation is out - which is my practical counsel
(though legally speaking such a form is also possible).
