Re: [libreoffice-website] offsite website backup

Hi Florian,

if i am not mistaken doesn't TDF need to register for a European NPO entity 
form, in order to cover all of the EU (including malta) when i tried to do 
that to raise funds for my community i was shut down by the local law 
wanting at least 10 people as board members...  and 20 for the eu, is the 
same in germany in order to register a NPO/NGO?

Which also leave me to conclude about the territorial laws on both 
legalisation on NPO/NGO, Copyright as so on... its a long and tewisted 
process in each country and done so for money hungry government officials 
and layers...

The foundation is not a legal entity yet?  The paperwork must be
"complex" or just having to deal with "regulation happy" and "paperwork
happy" governments.

I know one local not-for-profit group that chartered a certain way that
they did not know until too late that they were very limited in ways to
raise funds.  They had a fund raiser written up in the papers and the
State Tax people sent the group a nasty note telling them they broke
several laws/regulations for non-profit fund raising and the fines were
going to take most of the money raised away from them.  The current
President was the co-founder and he just passed the buck to the
Treasurer to fix the problem, when it was the President who started the
fund raiser and the board of directors found out about it by reading the
same article the government officials read.

So, the foundation charter/entity paperwork really needs to be done
carefully and thereby needing lawyer who will know all the hidden
regulations.  When I created Kracked Press Productions [no longer doing
that work anymore and closed it down, mostly] the lawyer fees were high
to protect me and mine from regulatory and legal issues.
