If the company delivered a service, it can pay out the money to a foundation, which can be errected, or maybe the pike foundation itself can be used (if there is any).
This is exactly what we should do, but perhaps not something what we will manage on short notice, unless somebody gets really ambitious.
We have been putting it off indefinitely ever since Pike moved from Roxen to IDA (the department of Computer Science and Informatics at Linköping University), at what time the original plan was to transfer the rights and ownership for Pike trademarks, source code and so on, to the (a) Pike Foundation (to be).
Unfortunately the paperwork didn't happen then, so we still don't have one. Do we have anyone versed with setting up foundations or similar? Here is a chance to help do what everybody wants, but core developers have not managed to toss up on their own. :-)
