Indeed, let's! Goals/Purposes are what SPI is trying to achieve, but methods/powers are how it may do it. If board members judge that education about swpat is within the general powers listed in Section 202 of the Not-For-Profit Corporation Law http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/nycodes/c76/a3.html (can that be a weblink on the new site's copy of the bylaws, please?), then it's fine. As long as that education is not encouraging unlawful behaviour, I can't see how it exceeds SPI's powers. Matthew Garrett helped to form another organisation (DUS) which I think is rather confused about purposes and powers, so I'd not pay much attention to his complaints about them.
