<p>General remark wrt non-profits regulation varies really widely
between territories, and the same terms (for example charity) tend
imply a widely varying range of regulation, and misunderstandings
about the status of the organisations tend to be the norm and not
the exception.<br>
</p>
<p>The LC agreement tries to not be all too prescriptive in that
respect (because of the wide variation), but the same goes in the
other direction too. Just because one specific kind of transaction
is not possible because one LC made a lucky strike (far more lucky
than for example the Linux Foundation which is obviously an
organisation with a similar purpose but donations are not tax
deductible), doesn't mean that the principles of the relationships
need to cater for every local quirk. <br>

Would we, at some point, expect that they share some of
that revenue<br>
with the wider project, rather than just using it for
stuff in their<br>
country?<br>

<div>Such a requirement would be quite likely to violate
local law governing donations/charitable giving, at least
in the US.<br>
