<br></div><div>* Buying kits from Mitch</div><div>* Hosting a paid event at NB</div><div>* Selling food (think hot dog stand)</div><div>* Selling DVDs</div><div>* Selling digital goods at NB (think amazon gift cards)</div>

Burning man (up until now, maybe depending on if the handover to their<br>
nifty new non-profit entity really works out) isn't a non-profit. They<br>
just don't let anyone but burning man exchange money at the event.<br>
<br>
And being a non-profit doesn't mean you can't have commerce happen. It<br>
just means you are a non-profit. The nb community might be choosing to<br>
make it a commerce free environment, I dunno. But in my limited<br>
experience if they have done that it isn't all that strictly enforced,<br>
since I and others have openly bought and sold various hackish goods on<br>
small scales in there, group orders on things like entropy generating<br>
sticks come to mind.<br>
