Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is a non-profit corporation founded to act as a fiscal sponsor for organizations that develop open source software and hardware.

[SPI] handles several projects of similar type and size (e.g., Arch and Debian).

Seems a good thing, and hopefully now that US donations are tax-deductible there’ll be more of them.
