  thanks, i wasn't aware of this. that's even more than i was looking for, except, the no commercial activity rule seems a bit limiting: Not seek profit: An organization can accept donations to sustain its work, but it can’t seek to make a profit by selling services, by charging for enhancements or add-ons, or by other means. so i can't sell services to sustain the project? there is a large difference between earning some money to help fund the project, making barely enough to be able to work on the project fulltime and actually making enough of a profit to afford commercial services. if i am employed and work on a FOSS project on work time, then i am not selling any services, nor am i making a profit. if i do exactly the same but as a contractor, then i am selling a service. you may want to elaborate how you interpret and verify this rule. also i'd rather have less free services but a more liberal allowance on commercial activity. like a regular free account but without the user limit. user limits are very frustrating because they prevent me from managing all potential contributors, even if they are not very active.

    Apparently you must be open source and a charity, not just open source.
