us to use this to "prove" our quality by going to print, under the

We need to check how this affects our not-for-profit status.
I guess that the plan would be for the wikimedia foundation to get some
sort of profit share? In the UK this could count as primary purpose
trading under UK Charity Law (depending on what the objects of the
charity were) - and would be legal. In some cases a trading company
would have to be set up.
I know _nothing_ about US not-for-profit law - I just thought I'd flag
it as a potential issue.
