Well, we sell them bandwidth. We're their upstream provider. They're *our*
client. But that's about it, unless my boss knows something I don't. :)
The fact is Q-Linux hosts our mailing lists, so I would think that some
ignorant people may construe that as guilt by association. While Q-Linux
hosts this list, I don't believe they have done anything to actively
control the list, such as censorship or preventing anyone with a legit
email address from subscribing (AFAIK).

We're a Dot-org, I believe. Even when there were serious plans of
registering us with SEC, we were supposed to be registered as a non-stock
non-profit organization. Right now, we're not even that! All PLUG has
become these days is a community resource, and I think that's fine.
