a few key points (some added):

# a foundation is fully legal person # the foundation has no members # therefore nobody can decide to change the foundations mission afterwards (f.e. no shifting of mission values or other priorities possible) # the 50.000 € is a recommendation, yes. part of the reason: only dividends and interest must be used to finance the foundations activities. the 50.000 must stay untouched forever. 50.000 € * 0,03 (average interest rate) = 1.500 € per year available for expenses # again: the foundation is a cemented full legal entity which can hold copyright owner rights
