stagex accepts tax deductable donations via opencollective but we do not actually have a registered legal entity, so yes, probably fine.

I mostly just want to make it clear this type of legislation is unenforceable and a waste of everyone's time.

How are you deducting the taxes without a legal entity? Or did you just mean that they would be tax deductible but not that you are necessarily deducting anything.

Opencollective collects funds to distribute to open source project maintainers. Not that it matters. We have never collected a single donation, but figured it was worth a shot. lol.

		I don't really get how that works in terms of being tax-deductible. So I looked it up, and lo and behold: > Contributions to Collectives hosted by OSC are not deductible as charitable contributions for U.S. federal income tax purposes. So, uh, no longer sketchy but not tax deductible in the US. See https://opencollective.com/opensource#category-ABOUT
