Project Governance, take 2

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

I cant help but think that we should really look into how to set up an
appropriate "not for profit" legal entity to shield individuals from
ending up in any form of problems with the tax authorities. The money
we collect from this years roktober is one thing, but potentially, if
Amarok 2 becomes popular on MAc and Windows, the commission we get
from Magnatune ( or any other such deals we make) could become quite
significant.

Or if this is too much of a hassle, take another look at the Software
Conservancy ( I think that was the name of it ).
