That's correct.
The basic approach is that you're donating to the SPI, making a "designated
gift" to either PostgreSQL or the PostgreSQL Anniversary. If the designation
is unclear (i.e. to "PG") then it would likely be necessary to contact the
giver by e-mail to confirm the destination. As long as both the
organization and the donor are clear on the designation at the time of
giving, it's not a problem for the IRS.
Of course, when we get our Click&Pledge account working, we won't have to rely
on people typing it into a blank. Which will be good.
