Sure, they don't hate the idea of helping houseless people, they just hate the idea of that help being legally prioritized over their RoI.

The Witness is a fantastic game, and while all the puzzles are drawing a line on a screen, without getting into spoilers, they have a great deal more variety than you might think.

That said, unlike the magical-realism of Myst and Riven's lived-in locations, the island of The Witness is impressionistic: It's not supposed to feel like a real place, only a kind of 3-d painting filled with relaxing and thought-provoking details, and coincidences to notice. So it might not be your cup of tea.

Or you could just treat issues as another kind of patch, which anyone could send by email or pull request, and maintainers could accept, reject, modify, clarify, etc.

It's true this would be harder for less technical users to submit problems. You might want a way to map anything submitted by Github Issues or the like into patches, though you could also do it manually.

What makes you think this would be against the agreement? Is crust a religion? An disability? "Dirty" isn't a protected class.

I've personally experienced that some hosts refuse to rent to unmarried couples. It was inconvenient and silly, but perfectly legal and nearly harmless (unless their actual problem was that only one of us was white, but who can say).

The legal requirement for an organization to receive tax-free nonprofit status in the US is that at least 5% of funds be spent to serve the stated mission. The bar is low everywhere.
