[Adium-devl] Adwords for Adium?

[Chris Forsythe]

Sorry, I didn't expand on this. Let me do so now.

There are multiple reasons we want to have adium become a business.  
Based on the advice of Robert Levine, becoming a non-profit 501c (if  
that's the wrong number, sorry, I just woke up) is a royal pain in  
the butt. However, Augie has a friend who was willing to help create  
a nonprofit for us.

We were trying to create a non-profit for all of the devs surrounded  
by the cocoaforge forums. This was perhaps too big of a goal, the  
talks degraded and stopped completely. Evan and I are currently  
looking into what our best options are right now. I'm partial to just  
getting a delaware LLC and not worrying about it, so we can do things  
like adwords and sell tshirts with ducks on them, things like that.  
I'm no expert at this either, so anything we decide we'll probably be  
running by Augie's friend.
