Although I am not a lawyer, I doubt that this is true. As far as I know it is only necessary to print an address on a webpage when your page has businesslike (German: "geschäftsmäßig") intentions. A very interesting read is the following page: https://www.it-recht-kanzlei.de/Thema/impressum-tmg.html I, personally, do not ask for donations for me or my team on my project website, I don't put any suggestions there like ("buy this cool software development book!") and I don't put links to any commercial institution. Therefore I feel as if it is not necessary to put my physical address on my project webpage (located on GitHub). Maybe this is also a solution for you? > Regards, > Dieter Best wishes Uwe
