WUaS will be a "client" in a UC Berkeley Law course this autumn for a second semester in a row, partly to explore forking WUaS into a FOR-PROFIT, to complement the NON-PROFIT, per these planned revenue streams - http://worlduniversityandsch

Excited potentially for MIT & University of California students and faculty to explore entrepreneurialism on the planned for-profit side of WUaS - in all 200 countries' languages as "Harvards of the Web" and in 7,943 languages - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/09/eucalyptus-excited-for-mit-university.html

How do we file it?
How does we keep it distinct from the non-profit one?
separate bank accounts?

We're a not for profit organization - and instead we're trying to give students free education - therefore we need to find a source to pay our expenses
and some of this can be from contributions
...
but we're also developing a for-profit side and its function is to support the non-profit side
... the organization as a whole is not trying to make a profit ...
