I would think that a more appropriate evaluation would be:

Benefit to the community
 * Is there a direct and clear benefit to the PostgreSQL community

Not for profit (the PostgreSQL portion itself.)
 * Monies collected should be considered donations and run through SPI
or one of the other geographically appropriate non profits

Organization by and for the community
 * Is the community actually involved
 * Who in the community is involved

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
