Re: [tdf-discuss] [Legalese] "Foundation" or "Group"?

 Hi Gianluca,

Nice to see you are still around :-)), and those are useful questions

I saw mention in one of the responses from one of the founding members
that part of the monies would be/is going towards legal advice, so one
would hope that a legal entity has indeed been created somewhere.
