I was only involved in part of the legal discussions, but simply saying that something isn't an investment (or even getting both parties to agree to this) is not sufficient to prevent it from being treated as an investment. Even if, as Eric points out, it's possible to find a lawyer who'll say something different.

5 (out of 32 donors). Also 5 Heroes. See the web site. Thanks to these generous folks, nearly a quarter of the minimum needed has already been raised!
