There is enough info in my last email for FSF, and
I am not bureaucratic one to repeat what was
written already.

Absolutely yes and I understand it.

Don't take the definiton of business too
narrow. I was using business in right context, and you may
check out definitions in dictionary.

And I have not referred to business in terms how
you described it. But even in those terms,
anything that a foundation or charity does is also
"business", regardless if it is non-profit.

If business is oriented towards tax exempt goals
than it is non-profit, but it still remains
business.
