      Debian is legally part of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., which it also founded.

        No it isn’t. The foundation only holds on to the trademarks and logos. It also allows the group to hold funds.

        The project itself isn’t held, led, or otherwise directed by the foundation.

          Eh, you’re right.

          The legal identity of an SPI associated project is not changed through their association with SPI, nor does it become part of SPI

            It was founded for donations. Hard to do if they aren’t legally associated.

            Not at all hard to do. The foundation receives funds and gives them out to whomever. That’s it.
