Basically, some AOL guides who were unpaid volunteers became disgruntled
with AOL as a whole and filed a class action suit on the grounds that
all non-profit organizations are required to pay minimum wage. For a
game, you could argue that whatever they're doing is for their own
enjoyment, but if you give any compensation to them, that would probably
look like work to a court. I found it highly alarming since, at the
least, I planned to accept donations without getting nonprofit status.
