Well,I think mentioning Non-profit, has sent a wrong signal here. This does not mean it's free of Charge.Fees is being charged for the training, but its does not go into single persons pocket....
I feel pure non-profit is neither reliable nor sustainable , and may not be able to compete in the market . Hence unlikely to inspire confidence. Now, if you say the above words, then it's the failure to understand the FOSS model at all. Has Free Software, Open source software's you are currently use, made you loose your confidence. have RMS , Linus started asking royalties from the users of GNU and Linux ?. its freely available and you and me are using it...rather its opposite and that's why you, me and others are here...if profit is the only motive and gives you confidence, then please go elsewhere....
