clarifying donation #24

Closed danielskatz closed 8 years ago

danielskatz commented 8 years ago

legal entity only needed for charitable donations - personal donations (e.g. via paypal) can be accepted by anyone. Collective donations are really a third type.

thanks, this is very helpful! Only feedback is that Open Collective's primary value is more of a fiscal sponsor than distributor, so they should be in the same set of examples as SFC and NumFOCUS. If you make that edit, happy to accept.

I've done this, but I've also left it in the distributor category, since it's one of the only examples I know that does this distribution in an open transparent way - I see this as a key feature.

ok, that makes sense! thanks!
