Ask HN: Is free-for-commercial-use a viable option for SaaS applications?
If you want to offer groups and organizations that fall into the not-for-profit category a free version of your application, how can you prevent for-profit organizations from claiming to be not-for-profit and there by bypassing any costs?
I know of a few companies that have used Google Apps without paying anything - simply signing up as a non-profit organization.
Is this maybe not a concern at all?
- patio11 16y agoSome options: 1) Ask for IRS non-profit certification. 2) Mention that you're going to ask for IRS non-profit certification, but do not actually get around to doing it. 3) Trust people.
