[OSGeo-Conf] Tax Implications of FOSS4G

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi Kate,
Thanks! But what is the meaning of "extending the tax exempt status" of e.g. the Eclipse Foundation? From your comment below this "umbrella capability" becomes an empty shell if OSGeo in the end still requires the tax payment on income.
Thanks,
Jeroen
