Hamilton Group[edit]
I think it was named because the building Armando worked in was on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto, California. Nothing to do with Hamilton Group which is a bunch of rocks. But to say so would need a source I suppose. W Nowicki (talk) 00:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Incorporation status[edit]
In the United States, people refer to 501(c)(3) incorporated companies/organizations, which are private charities or public foundations, as nonprofit organizations that allow income tax deductions for contributions to these organizations. There are numerous other incorporation types (including many other 501(c) types) which are not charities and thus do not qualify for contributions to be tax deductible. These are commonly referred to as "not-for-profit" organizations. The Open Software Foundation was organized as a not-for-profit under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act which was aimed at fostering collaboration without the threat of anti-trust action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonom01 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
