I've thought about this often, and where I would have supported the idea fully five years ago, I now wonder what the benefits for openSUSE could be. If it's for getting some money in to do extra stuff, an easy access donation page could do that.
Here the fun starts: Which bank account would the money from this donation page end up in? :-) Handling (small) donations (from individuals) is a reason we could use a non-profit for. Letting a sponsor, even if it's SUSE, handle those donations is more than strange. And in the case of SUSE not wanted from their side anyway. And back then when the idea of the foundation was floating around we came to the conclusion that we don't really need those types of donations. I don't see a reason why this has changed now...
