It should just be treated as cash type of donation. Get a paper receipt.

If the asset has risen in value over the years, the donor could (a) sell it for dollars, pay capital gains taxes, and then donate the rest or (b) donate the asset and let the FSF do the selling. (b) avoids the tax which means more money for the FSF. It's a common approach with non-profits.
