The current setup works in this sense, right? What are the actual concerns or risks?

A legal entity can only make a formal agreement with another legal entity. That was/is the case of the KDE Free Qt Foundation, which seems to be a source of inspiration of this proposal - http://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php

"maemo.org" is just an Internet domain (owned by Nokia). The Maemo community is not a legal entity.

Fine, my point was to avoid starting discussion from zero on IRC. Glad to see the discussion getting fine tuned here.
