Charitable Donations (Score 2)

Also, since many of our donations come from outside Canada, we still could not really generate taxable benefits to you. (And I must ask, why are people so cheap, that they only give donations when it provides a partial reduction in their taxes, rather than a real donation? I actually find that pretty fake.)

From a different point of view (for Canadians, at least), you can look at the tax break for "charitable donations" as a way of directing government money to the organizations you would like supported. From my point of view, a $100 chariable donation is really only an ~$80 donation from me, plus ~$20 of the government's money that I want directed to organizations I feel are important.

That's not to say that (non|not-for)-profit is the way to go for OpenBSD, but it may convert a few more anti-charitable donations people to support organizations they feel are important. I only support to those organizations that I feel are important (whether they get me a tax deduction or not), since you don't actually get more out of the tax deduction than you put into the donation.
