This is the kind of stuff HN abhors... ooops it's not Amazon, it's Krita!

Amazon want to skip taxes with the intent of making more money for themselves.

Krita want to skip taxes with the intent of making free software for strangers.

Seems like there's a moral difference there (as well as, of course, the actual legal difference).

Krita wants to skip taxes that for either a company or a non-profit would be skipped, but since they are both they fall into a weird zone where they cannot.
