"Boost may in the near future join the Software Freedom Conservancy, 
an umbrella organization of Free and Open Source Software projects. The 
Conservancy gives free financial and administrative services to its 
members..."

One just wonders how "free financial and administrative services" can 
transform to: (visit guidestar.org)

"FORM 990, PART II, LINE 25 - OFFICER COMPENSATION SCHEDULE
 ===========================================================
                                         PROGRAM  MANAGMENT
 OFFICER NAME AND TYPE OF COMPENSATION  SERVICES  AND GENERAL

 EBEN MOGLEN
    COMPENSATION:                        116,875.     38,959."

      -- SOFTWARE FREEDOM LAW CENTER, INC. (visit guidestar.org)

(Eben's SFLC compensated underlings aside for a moment) and whether 
you (boost moderators & Co. so to speak) would be able to spend more 
for "future events such as BoostCon, and also to pay for much needed 
infrastructure" without Eben's SFLC involvement.

What's the problem to take donations without SFLC?
