This is a pretty great example of the lack of communication I'm talking= about.

If we're not a 501(c)6 and never have been, then what are we and why don't you just state that so we're all on the same page?

We are a New Mexico based non-profit. We have no = tax-exempt status.
=C2=A0

According to [1] we seem to be a 501(c)1. According to Funtoo [2] we
seem to be a 501(c)6. According to Wikipedia [3] we seem to be a
501(c)6. This [4] says the Gentoo has never been a 501(c)6 and since
that's in the foundation namespace, I assume it must be definitive.

(1) does not say our status, it just says = we should operate like such an organization.
(2) seems wrong
(3) I have edited this.
(4) This PDF is correct, yes.

=C2=A0

So there's a *lot* of confusing information out there, and this could all be cleared up with some clear statement on the Wiki. As you said,
it should all be on the Wiki. :)
