Just so.  Very few of our groups have any legal existence.  SEUL has had
to turn down offers of financial donations on more than one occasion
because there's no recognized entity to receive the donation.  Roger
could accept it as a personal donation to himself, but the donator's
books wouldn't show that as a charitable donation.  
As I've said before, an organization by our standards should be any
group (even if it currently consists of only one person) that is
actively working to further the acceptance of free/open resources in
education.
