My definition of practicality as it relates to profits is based on the sad experience that the vast majority of entities that fail to produce profits fail to continue providing products. I want authors to make enough money writing so they will continue writing. See H. Beam Piper for a sad example of what can happen otherwise.
As one friend of mine said while folding his family business, "
we didn't start out to be a non-profit, it just happened."
