It would be possible to collect money in Germany and spend it in Germany for non profit purposes.
I have no clue. I just (naively) think of an NGO that receives donations in German and spends it on "charity" in, say, Africa.

Re: Donations tax-deductable

I see a German FreeCAD supprter club on the horizon :mrgreen: Interesting idea! So, perhaps one could set-up a German-registered "club" (e.V.) that can receive tax-deductable donations in Germany and then the club could funnel the donation to FPA!? (A tax advisor would have to check the G...

Re: FreeCAD trademark

The trademark actually acts more like a copyright, which is not in opposition to the open-source license. This statement is a bit confusing to me... I think it is perhaps more the other way around: part of the trademark is a logo, which happens to be protected by copyright. My believe is that the F...

Lock License page?

I must made a change to
Licence
fixing a broken link. But I think it would be good to make editing of this page more restrictive.

Re: PD Helix with SubShapeBinder is not supported

Excuse me if I am missing something. But I think this applies to V0.22 and to PartDesign_AdditiveHelix as well (maybe even more features?). And shouldn't there be a GitHub issue for this, it seems inconsistent that PartDesign_Pad does not have this limitation. I have only tested 0.21.2 so far. I am...

Re: Donations tax-deductable

Just to add to this. In Germany it is like this I believe : If an organization has charity status in another country, the German tax authorities do not care about this foreign status at all. You have to prove to them that the organization has a legal structure that basically makes it equivalent to a...

Re: Donations tax-deductable

Does anybody from germany knows if the donation is tax deductable in germany? Probably not because the German tax authorities apply strict rules here. Just search the Web for "deutsches finanzamt anerkennung von spende an ausländische NGO" to get pretty decent information. Still, I believ...

Re: PD Helix with SubShapeBinder is not supported

You need to select the face of the "SubShapeBinder" (not from the tree view), then proceed with the Subtractive Helix function ;) This is also true if you want to use a Subshapebinder in a Loft or Revolve feature. You must select the face. This is not what I experience in 0.21.2. I can se...
