A non-profit in the US is restricted in the amount, and type of revenue that is generated, without incurring a tax penalty. Essentially, all profit-generating activity has to be done at an arm's length. How long that arm has to be, depends upon the activity, the type of non-profit, and perhaps one or two other things. The rules for non-profits in other countries are different. So much so that what is legal there, might well not be legal in the united states, and vice versus. jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzUnNQACgkQaC1raifmCuGEbQCfRdAXw/9DBJdEtaX0XmHdpSDI OIIAoJKpAb1h6WQ9MwcE04Ooe7rA3k4f =xFA+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
