No worries, I think no one in the discussion was to be assumed to agree 
with the idea that it would be a scam attempt to apply as is for the 
non-profit program. Because for that someone must agree that we do not 
fit at all with the non profit criteria for maintainers. That's the main 
point of the message and necessary condition before starting to talk 
about the scam thing.
And it seems everyone leans towards that we fit. So if anything to 
assume, is that everyone was leaning towards agreeing to apply in good 
faith without being a attempt to trick GitLab, thinking that we fit 
enough in the criteria.

That's fine, it's my own view that we don't fit and the arguments to 
apply anyway with less moral remorse are only mine.

Alright, looks good that way, I had to think hard to find moral 
justifications to apply as is without complying to their terms. 
(Assuming we would lean toward that we don't fit at all with their terms.)
My feelings when reading the discussion were that bringing up Koha 
Community as an organization or Horowhenua Library Trust was very 
dubious and that we should be upfront that it would be a dubious 
application to their program. Thus the scam thing.

What about the main point of the message? My most important words are 
that we don't fit at all with their terms. (details in previous message) 
Sorry that I went too far developing the scam thing that it took all the 
attention.
