<div>I attended by invitation. The organisers were fully aware of
my role in CrossWire. </div>

<p>I guess the following would be required:</p>
<p>- A non-profit organisation, that is legally allowed to charge
their users to pay for the license fees.<br>
- Some kind of payment / unlock system integrated with sword<br>
- Some additional administration efforts due to that<br>
- Dealing with the fiscal system and your donors every year</p>
<p>In Germany it's pretty easy to set up non profit orgs like that.
You just need the man power for it ...<br>
There's actually a well known and big open source project that
runs its organization based on a non-profit in Germany (<a

for the KDE desktop).<br>
