  • Thanks for admitting to profile stalking I guess?

    Regardless.

    They accept donations in the app, on the webpage and offer a service that’s a business just a nonprofit one, they are in fact involved in commerce. Not requiring payment ≠ not gladly accepting it. Now add to that the fact you already admitted the foundation is involved in commerce makes saying the app which is wholely owned by the foundation isn’t involved in commerce they’re just working controlled by a commercial business entity a moronic thing to say.

    Genius.

    Also you’re a liar, you said you were done. You clearly aren’t.



  • No one is denying reality, I’m not even claiming you are im just saying you’re mistaken. The only laws in the USA that I know that refer to commerce as a specifically for profit enterprise are realty laws/zoning laws not shutting pertaining to 501c3 or business licenses generally.

    Good then we agree they’re a commercial enterprise just not one that turns a profit, I’m not even sure how you intend to contort yourself to try to wriggle away from that admission.

    A form 990 doesn’t mean they aren’t commercial either, it proves they aren’t a for profit business but that isn’t actually anything anyone is arguing though you seem to think that is the case.

    Who provides the funding for the signal app again? Oh yeah by your admission a commercial enterprise the signal foundation. So who’s bending reality to their whim?

    Yes the exchange here is a portion of market share in exchange for a service.

    Does that old lady compete against for profit companies for market share in “getting something off the shelf”? No then that’s probably a bad example because they aren’t at all similar are they.

    It doesn’t, you can exchange something without receiving anything, take for instance this conversation we’re exchanging opinion and ideals, I know I’m not getting anything out of it and I imagine you aren’t either correct?

    I hope you actually read those because none of them actually support your position and notably you ignore the important definition ie. Commerce and commodity.

    You get that their 501c3 allows them to act as a tax exempt business correct? Is every 501c3 a business? No, this one that acts as a business is a business, they’re just tax exempt because they can’t turn a profit legally. You keep saying I’m denying reality but dude they’re clearly a business.

    It’s not bait but i kinda doubt that would change your attitude or the way you’re speaking to me for no particular reason. I will say it makes you seem less than sane if we’re being honest.


  • It’s a 501 c3 yes, no one is arguing that. It is however very definitely involved in commerce but definition. “Nuh uh” and tax documents that day is a 501c3 just mean is non profit and as an fyi being a 501c3 doesn’t mean you can’t involve yourself in commerce it means the profits derived from it have to go back into the company or a legitimate charitable organization.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but an app is in this case both a product and a service, so what definition are you using to say they aren’t involved in commerce when by your own definition they certainly are. Ps. Exchange doesn’t mean this for that though it can. Regardless, you using an app and giving it business and in exchange for a service is commerce.
