Bzzzzzt.... Sorry, but Uncle Sam won't buy that. 501(c)(3) status is only given to organizations that are charitable (as in giving EXCLUSIVELY to the needy) or education (as in quadrangles, ivy-covered halls, accreditation, currcicula, etc.). It could be a mutual benefit society, though -- possibly 501(c)(4). --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
