Hi Stefan, Thanks for posting the LWN link. Definitely some good advice to think about. From the 2 minutes I can afford to think about these things right now, I definitely agree that joining an umbrella organization would be the best option for FlightGear should we choose to move forward on any of this. Finding the right umbrella organization might be the trickier part. :-) Curt.

Hi! we had the discussion a while ago and now lwn.net published a great article on the subject: http://lwn.net/Articles/561336/ According to http://wiki.flightgear.org/Project_Infrastructure_Enhancements it's still an open issue on how to handle donations to FlightGear.
