I always smile when I hear "non-profit". Last year a US non-profit that dealt with military research was looking to buy from us and asked for a discount because they were a non-profit. I looked on their website and their annual revenues were in the ballpark of x1000 that of ours. Maybe it's a European view, but I find the idea of a defence non-profit bizarre and the idea we should discount for them on this basis even more so. By being a non-profit, the main beneficiary is their customers (the DoD I'm guessing) because the pricing doesn't need the usual margin of profit. I'd just be reducing the cost for them, since costs are ultimately just passed on. My point is, this a boundary case of stretching the ethics of "non-profit" way too far. Yes, non-profit is great for open source, but I would be concerned about using it as a vehicle when large companies are the ones benefiting (which isn't the case with Ghost).
