Three new FOSS umbrella organizations in Europe (2017) (lwn.net)

On my opinion, the most prolific organization of such type in Europe is OW2: https://www.ow2.org/


Ive typically been recommending non-profits and public-benefit companies. Tax write-offs for donations are useful, though. Mozilla has a foundation that owns the for-profit company. Maybe improve on the idea with:

1. A for-profit and charity side-by-side working on same thing with charity just collecting donations.

2. Improve on prior models with a charity that owns a public-benefit company or non-profit whose charters or goals are same. Keep them aligned.
