[Rd] [Non-DoD Source] Re: R for the US Air Force

[Ben Bolker]

   For what it's worth

https://www.r-project.org/foundation/board.html

  says

The R Foundation is seated in Vienna, Austria and currently hosted by 
the Vienna University of Economics and Business. It is a registered 
association under Austrian law and active worldwide. The R Foundation 
can be contacted by e-mail to R-foundation at r-project.org


   The statutes here <https://www.r-project.org/foundation/> probably 
won't be useful, but you might be able to get the Austrian registration 
documents from someone at the R foundation (see e-mail above); it seems 
as though that might qualify for lists A and B in your documentation 
specs, and they might be able to provide you with an Austrian tax 
receipt for list C ...

   cheers
