Yep, that's all made quite clear in the Handbook. If the kind of money starts flowing in that it's worth the extra accounting fees and hassles of running a 501(c)3, I'll certainly considering shifting over to that. FreeBSD, Inc. was declared a not-for-profit organization in the incorporation papers actually, but that's still not the same thing as a non-profit and what Christopher says about tax deductions is completely correct.
