[NHCOLL-L:3143] Re: Tissue request from for-profit organization

[colin favret]

Just a thought: since corporate entities pay federal income taxes and  
the non-profits do not, on what grounds should the corporate entity  
not have at least equal access (i.e., same conditions for the same  
use) to assets held in the public domain?

Cheerio, colin
