That's a good point. An alternative would be for such a contract to be split into two pieces, like when a corporation has a charitable foundation attached to it. I think that would be kind of fun so am inclined to leave the text as is, but could be persuaded to change it. - Falsifian

Part of me is a bigger fan of not having true charities and having some
other payment scheme, like the Reporter selling ad space. But I'm also
not against this. Text looks good mechanically, I'd probably vote
PRESENT on this.

I think we should change this to: This SHOULD only be done if the contract's provisions ensure that the funds received from Agora will be used solely for the betterment of Agora. Some contracts may receive both Agoran and private funds, and only the Agoran funds should be restricted. -- Publius Scribonius Scholasticus, Herald, Referee, Tailor, Pirate Champion, Badge of the Great Agoran Revival, Badge of the Salted Earth
