Thanks for the info. I didn't intend to imply that they (or other nonprofit startups) would face opposition by all established players. It's just that I found many "nonprofits" showing questionable behaviours: The people working in the fiel

Full of ideology: Politicians and economists are stupid (esp. with their [quote] "worship of ‘free’ markets"), we need to change our (bad) Western culture, we need a "steady-state economy" (the usual propaganda stuff from eco-socialists) be
