Lawful? Don't see why not.The purposes of Sudo Room, per the Bylaws, are to "promote and encourage scientific, technical, engineering and artistic skills through individual projects, social collaboration, and education", including providing "work space, storage, and other resources for projects related to engineering, art, science, and technology that will benefit the individual members' personal growth in their fields of interest"Members can be suspended or terminated based on a good faith determination "that the member has failed in a material and serious degree to observe the rules of conduct of the corporation, or has engaged in conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the corporation's purposes and interests."I think it could be argued that for a member to use the space to run a startup is not inconsistent with Sudo's stated purpose. It definitely does not rise to the level of "conduct materially and seriously prejudicial to the corporation's purposes and interests".Is it lawful for a Sudo member to use the space to run a startup? Sure - don't see why that would be illegal.Is it lawful for Sudo to provide space for such purposes? Sure - as long as it is also in line with Sudo's stated nonprofit purpose to "provide work space for projects that will benefit the individual members' personal growth".Is this sufficient ground for kicking a member out? Don't see why...PatrikOn Sun, May 15, 2016 at 10:29 AM, robb <sf99er@gmail.com> wrote:is it lawful for people to join sudoroom to use it exclusively as an office space for their for-profit proprietary startup that has no public benefit?
