Thanks Italo.

Then it may be a good idea to provide a possible "not for profit" model 
on our marketing pages for groups interested in organising this way. At 
the very least, it would give them insight at how one would go about 
setting up structurally.

In your opinion, is it recommended to set up a not for profit LibO 
entity in different countries? Would this be better than not having any 
at all?
