And these law apply to non-for-profit organization ? The Red-Cross and United Way cannot agree to 'Divide Territories' ? They have by law the obligation to 'compete' for the potential recipient of their charity ? Isn't Apache a non-for-profit ? If I understand the 'Apache Way', I'd say you are wearing a 'Corporate' hat in this email, not your 'Apache member' hat Norbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
