Do you need to be an "official" nonprofit, or is it sufficient just to have an app which generates no revenue? If the former, how difficult/expensive is that in the EU?
- markus92 3y agoDepends on the country, but in The Netherlands it’s around 500ish to set up a Stichting (foundation) plus some annual fees.
- thejsa 3y agoThe main obstacle I see is the €1mm letter of credit, to be honest.
- kaba0 3y agoYou only need a single nonprofit that creates an F-Droid alternative, and then it can distribute other’s open-source projects freely
- FateOfNations 3y agoYeah, the non-profit organization requirement is insurance for Apple that you aren't making money off your app some other way. Yeah, it's inconvenient for people who legitimately want to give stuff away for fun, but it isn't an insurmountable obstacle.
