(写于2007年3月，略作补充和修改）

“中国科学与学术诚信基金会”在网站上介绍其目的时是这样写的（见http://www.osaic.org/documents/bylaw.htm）：

ARTICLE II PURPOSES

2.Purposes: The following are the purposes for which this organization has been organized: The OSAIC provides financial support for efforts in the exposure of and legal actions against scientific and academic frauds, as well as promotion of general scientific knowledge in China.

指向非常明确，即为反对科学和学术不端引起的法律纠纷及科普提供资金支持。在“基金会”成立之初，还未公布项目资助申请指南时，即宣布将为方舟子的一系列官司提供资助。

在该机构向佛罗里达州注册时提供的备案材料中提到组织目的时却是另一个版本。

ARTICLE 2 - PURPOSE OF CORPORATION

The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, educational, and scientific purpose, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code.

该机构是以慈善、宗教、教育和科学为目的，以及为这些目的向适当的免税机构提供资助。

在ARTICLE 3 - PROHIBITIONS中，明确写道：

No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to its members, trustees, officers, or other private persons, except that the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in
furtherance of the purposes set forth in Article Second hereof.

该机构净收益不得用于其成员、董事、官员，或其他私人，除非机构授权给做出服务或促进本章程第二条所规定的目的实现的人员支付适当的补贴费和资助。

方舟子打的一系列官司，尤其是得到“基金会”大力资助的与肖传国间的官司，是个人之间因名誉权引起的法律纠纷，不涉及到其它组织，不涉及到科学知识的教育和传播，也没有具体学术观点上的争论，很显然不属于“慈善、宗教、教育、科学”所包含的内容。方舟子本人也不代表任何美国政府规定的免税机构。“基金会”的几项资助，明显属于它自己向政府提交的文件所禁止之列。

此外，在该机构备案文档的最后是这样一条：

ARTICLE 17 - DISSOLUTION

Upon dissolution of the Corporation, assets shall be distributed for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of section 501 (c}(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code, or shall be distributed to the federal government, or to a state or local government for public purpose. Any such assets not so disposed of shall be disposed of by Court of Competent Jurisdiction of the county in which the principal office of the Corporation is then located, exclusively for such purposes or to such organization or organizations, as said Court shall determine, which are organized and operated exclusively for such purposes.

当机构终止时，资产将赠送给为一项或多项目的而运作的适当的免税机构，或赠送给公立机构。不做这样处理的任何财产由组织总部所在地的县级民事法庭处理。若法庭决定，将赠送给专为上述目的组织运作的机构。

目前的情况是，“中国科学与学术诚信基金会”已于两个多月前就被政府注销，最后一次备案是ADMIN DISSOLUTION。“基金会”结余的两万多美元捐款是怎么处理的，是个值得关注的问题。
