[P2P-F] couchsurfing becoming for-profit

Thu Sep 1 11:55:05 CEST 2011

I am happy this one didn't get done yet. Veit's rant on CS/Casey is
personal (although a pretty interesting one) and at the same time Veit
is just like a little Khadafi in relation to bewelcome.

It's a long nasty history - the world of hospitality ;-)

Also, Veit's promise to release Hospitality Club code as open source
or even as free is almost as old as the promise of having Couchsurfing
registered as a tax-deductible non-profit (four years now).

At the same time Hospitality Club is still a personal project/ not a
registered organisation with no information about the flow of money.

I've always compared HC as a dictorship, CS as a oligarchy and
bewelcome as democracy.
