My take is that just because an orgainzation needs and spends money this does not make it a 'business' aka a for-profit business. A 'business' sole purpose is to put money in the pocket of the owners and to promote a brand. That is not the intent.
even the red cross aka a non-profit organization has to pay light bills and pay people to fix the roof. As much as 25% of a groups expenses are used for paying employees. And they need to use 'donations' for this as well as to do the 'good things'.
As long as a groups money is not soley put in the leaderships pocket and that the money goes to keeping the organization going and used for its intent (speading the word on linux and creating leadership), all is ok.
As to how much to pay... that is tricky
in conclusion: So if Lynxs has to pay for teacher, that in turn, promote the group and spread the word, "Its a good thing" -Kev
