Yikes. They set up the foundation in Berlin, Germany? A country well known for its braindead tax laws and bureaucracy, particularly when it comes to NGOs?

- janice1999 7mo agoThere are plenty of non-profit software projects headquartered in Berlin, e.g. KDE since 1997, and they seem to do just fine.
- mschuster91 7mo agoYeah because they went into existence way before the bureaucracy became a nightmare and have had ample time to evolve with the legal landscape.
- mhitza 7mo agoIt's stated as conflict of interest, not some bureaucracy. Things are still vague, due to some legal liability, probably. Sounds to me like for some grants/tenders received by the non-profit were contracted out to Collabora. Which in turn, profits from the base project.
