Does anybody know if there is something like a "Verein" on an EU-wide basis?
There is not, but that's not an issue because a German e.V. is accepted as a legal entity anywhere in the E.U. (and outside). For corporations, it's easy enough to setup facilities to make donations (hold back here, the ESUG is working on something and we'll be able to surf with them I think) - whether for a charity or not, everything they spend is a cost and therefore deductable (that's why I converted myself into a GmbH last year ;-)); for persons, people need to check with local tax authorities whether charities are recognized across borders - but I don't think we need to be worried about *that* right now.
Don't know... any other ideas?
Yes, DTSTTCPW - proceed with Squeak e.V.; shoot first, ask questions later.
