As was pointed out on Kelly's blog, a staff member asks for WMF volunteers  
to help a start-up. That is a cost. In fact, in the elusive audit the WMF will  
be expected to give a number to the value of volunteer contributions, so it 
is a  real cost. Volunteer time is diverted from WMF to Kaltura. That is a 
cost. The  WMF has lent its name to a start-up, which can then use that name to 
obtain VC  funding. That is an unrealized cost. 
 
So what is the benefit?
