  • the IRS appears to argue that because there might be some "non-charitable" uses of the software, the Foundation doesn't deserve non-profit status, which would make it exempt from certain taxes (and make donations tax deductible).
  • ots of other open source software that is (deservedly) classified as non-profit organizations -- including the Apache Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation and more. Furthermore, the IRS seems to argue that unless Yorba is actually teaching "the poor and underprivileged" how to use its software

    Anietra Hamper has been a TV anchor at two Columbus-area stations. In addition to being well-versed in local news and national trends, Hamper also made it a point to keep up her appearance, a key tenet of the talking head gig. From 2005-2008, she worked at NBC4 and then moved on to WBNS until 2010. It was the period from 2005-2008, however, that caught the eye of the IRS. You see, Hamper, in pursuit of beauty, spent gobs of money on clothes, gyms, trainers, manicures, and more. Why does the IRS care? She tried to write off every dime she spent on aesthetic accessories and clothing - a staggering total of $167,356.
