Some of the projects listed on the website are owned by for-profit corporations, other are informal communities. People volunteering their time might assume all the projects listed on t4p are non-profit or loose groups of people, but this is not always the case.
I suggest to add some details to every project listed on the website:
- Specify if the project is run by a registered for-profit entity, non-profit or if it's a loose community
- Specify the legal status of the material produced by the project (open/closed source, licensing, etc)
- Clarify if the project accepts or receive any funds, who manages them and what they are used for
I think it's very important to provide to aspiring contributors as much info a possible about the projects listed on the website. To avoid misunderstandings and remove the chance of future exploitation of volunteer work, so we can take a better informed decision when volunteering our time.
