I'm pretty sure that I have a legal obligation to pay tax
(income tax or gift tax) for money received, regardless who
sent them - Haiku Inc, the HSA (or just random fans of me).

I like the idea of an independent, european legal entity with
some purposes similar to those of Haiku, Inc. Primarily since
many of us live in Europe (shared currency, etc). But it likely
weakens Haiku Inc's position and might remove some of its income.
