sorry, but i still don't understand this accounting practice of the  
nonprofits you have worked at. you wrote:

"* Gift shop reports the gift store reports that they sold 100 000
copies of that "cool object";
* Membership reports that they have 100 000 new members;"

this was in the context of you saying that a nonprofit could sell an  
NC licensed object. where is the sale occurring? how is it optional  
and yet still a sale & thus getting within a loophole in the guidelines?
