The Berkman Klein Center has released Challenges & Opportunities Concerning Corporate Formation, Nonprofit Status, & Governance for Open Source Projects.
Here's an excerpt from the announcement:
To help open source projects navigate these foundational questions, this report addresses a number of key considerations that those managing open source software development initiatives should take into account when thinking about structure, organization, and governance. The guide elucidates reasons why institutional structure and internal governance processes are important and walks the reader through several models of each, explaining how they might benefit or impact the open source development initiative, and is also replete with case studies and diagrams to illustrate these ideas in practice.
