Cannot advertise and implement for-pay services while being hosted on 
ibiblio
But can solicit and receive grants and donations for services

Also, small/Mom&Pop seed operations (which predominate in the arena of 
esoteric, rare, hard-to-find, organic, heirloom, non-gmo
seed sources) will not be able to afford to pay to be listed as 
seed/plant/nursery stock sources within the PIW database. The most they
can be expected to do is proide the data we will need from them as 
suppliers and keep that info up-to-date.

Still would not be able to do that while hosted on ibiblio - but can 
receive donations.
Cannot _advertise for-pay services for anything hosted on ibiblio_. This 
is why they will not host any .com domains, only .info, .org and .net.
