Why would anyone want to buy a not-for-profit organization?

Wow, finally. I'm very happy that they've resolved this.

It would have to be a two part purchase.

One arrangement for the material generated by Core Members, and another for everyone else. ;)

The bigger problem will be how to split the $$$ among the core members ;) .
