Dear all

There has for a while been discussions amongst the dev-group about
making the big step towards OpenWrt.org achieving non-profit status.

This would imply a number of future benifits and organizational changes
to the project itself - but, there are also several practical hurdles
which have to be crossed before the imagined line can be crossed.

The primary challenge is if OpenWrt.org should either:

1. Build an independent non-profit foundation

2. Join on eof the exisitng umbrella entities, such as;

        www.fsfeurope.org/projects/ftf/fiduciary.en.html

        - SPI (donations, legal service + european partner)             
        www.spi-inc.org/

        - Software Freedom Conservancy (legal help, donations)
        conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/

The dev-group would be very interested in hearing comments and
suggestions on this topic.
