It would be interesting to see them go forward with this. I know that laws vary for jurisdictions, but likely most concentration of the mods are in the USA. I am not familiar with laws on this, but with a cursory google search, it would appear that you can't volunteer to work for a private sector for profit business in where your work provides value to the company; that it would need t be a non-profit charity. Am I misunderstanding this?
