Do you have personal experience with either of them ? I'd be curious learn
about them.

Things mostly go their way in peaceful without indeed.

But let's look at the trademark for example. We need a legal entity to own
the trademark and that is one of the reasons why KDE e.V. was founded. Who
should be a member in this organization, though ? Keep in mind that
posession of the trademark brings with it the power over and 
responsibility for the content on www.kde.org and assignment of @kde.org 
mail aliases for example.
