- the German laws for non-profits (this was mentioned on another list)
There is no specific law in Germany for non-profits. You have to distinguish between all the possible legal forms for an association. The FSFE is a German eingetragener Verein which has only very few legal requirements so that the Verein can will define its rules in its constitution.
A charitable Verein is a bit more restricted as a general Verein. For example it is not allowed to issue a receipt for donations received for an exchange. Demanding a fixed purpose for a donation would may be such an exchange.
