thanks Robin ...<br><br>in theory, a B Corporation is not such a bad thing, no, as it is and remains dedicated to a social good?<br><br>Michel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 4:55 PM, robin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:robokow@gmail.com">robokow@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

personal (although a pretty interesting one) and at the same time Veit<br>
is just like a little Khadafi in relation to bewelcome.<br>
<br>
It's a long nasty history - the world of hospitality ;-)<br>

<br>
Also, Veit's promise to release Hospitality Club code as open source<br>
or even as free is almost as old as the promise of having Couchsurfing<br>
registered as a tax-deductible non-profit (four years now).<br>
<br>
At the same time Hospitality Club is still a personal project/ not a<br>
registered organisation with no information about the flow of money.<br>
<br>
I've always compared HC as a dictorship, CS as a oligarchy and<br>
bewelcome as democracy.<br>
