Question for the OP, YC, PG, dang, or anyone else.

YC owns both startupschool.com and startupschool.org but you have the .com redirecting to the .org

While .org can be (and often is used) for anything it is typically associated with organizations and more specifically non-profits [1]. So I'm curious why you don't simply have this info under the .com since obviously the overwhelming majority of your involvement is on a for profit basis (the companies you fund are almost always for profit) and the school, while free, is really a marketing feeder for YC which is for profit.

[1] Source: Me, I've been doing this "domain thing" since the mid 90's.
