Any non-profit, or just charitable non-profits (aka 501(c)(3))? Unfortunately, the US does not consider producing open source software to be charitable activity.

It can. There are a number of charitable foundations that support open aource. For example the Python Foundation.

But it is on a case by case basis, and it does take work to get the IRS to accept it.

Interesting. In any case, libsodium's fiscal sponsor (Open Source Collective - https://opencollective.com/opensource) is not a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
