I just pay contributors directly on the patches they send. More revenue = higher sat payouts. I don’t see why being a company or not would matter.
Have you considered going the nostrocket route nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p has this exact same scenario in mind: some revenue, multiple/decentralized contributors, no-company.

If you receive yourself, in a thing you control (similar to a bank account), you have to declare as your income and deduct expenses from it. I want to see if we can avoid all of that.
On top of that, I don't want the legal liability of having made sale-based promises to users (like the translation item in Purple).
Also, setting up as a company puts you in the jurisdiction of governments. It is better to be gift and donation outside of their systems.
