Just curious, if Russia has no vat for that service, Dmitry is based in Russia and the sole purpose of the foundation is to support him, why was the foundation set up in the Netherlands and not in russia?

From the article it sounds the Foundation is run by other (Dutch) people working on Krita who may or may not be paid from it as well.

Yes... I'm Dutch, so that's where I created the foundation. Originally, we wanted to work through the German KDE e.V., but they couldn't support development work financially.
