We often hear about the charitable organizations registered in the United States Federal tax system, but talking about the implications is sometimes taboo. I'll try and talk about these issues openly, and discuss some of the consequences (both +ive & -ive) for public software. I'll provide a list of a few well-known organizations, and explain why it both matters and doesn't. Lastly I'll present some reporting that I did while researching this presentation.
