Krita Foundation Statutes

[Andre Gemuend]

Hi Boudewijn,

as a German I'd expect that you need to meticulously define things such 
as free software, or "organising commercial activities", to warrant the 
charitable nature (and as such the tax-advantage). Is that not so?

Can the goal of the foundation really be to develop the software, or 
only to support the development?

Perhaps I would add that the foundation also aims to _sustain_ the  long 
term development and free availability of it.

Greetings
André
