[drupal-devel] Drupal foundation / non-profit

[Kieran Lal]

CivicSpace Labs is now a non-profit organization.

Since all our code is Drupal code except install.php, the configure  
module, and soon to be obsolete Contact Manager.

We are about as close a match to a Drupal foundation as you are going  
to get.

Does that work for you all?
