[...] I researched the possibilities here. According to the current law, we have an option called "spolek" or "zapsaný spolek" ("registered association" - allowed abbreviation "z.s."). It is an association of three or more persons, which has its own statutes and acts as a legal entity. The members of the association are not liable for its debts.
I also researched what the account management options are here. The local bank Fio.cz provides a Transparent Account. Such an account allows free viewing of transactions on the account. Account management and operations fees are minimal - basically the only fee is for payment outside the EU.
Sounds good for me. It's just the ame as "Verein" in Austria.
Again, I ask for your observations and comments. Currently the basic questions I see:
- Do we want to try to address the SF Conservancy, even if it means being
bound by US law?
No sane person should do that.
- If so, but SF Conservancy rejects us, do we want to become a member of
the Open Source Collective?
- If we want to avoid US law, do we want to continue as unregistered -
only as a virtual team with Open Collective Europe?
- Or we don't want any of the above - do we want our own legal entity?
ad 4: +1 for that. Let's stand on our own feet.

Thank you!
