The amount they get paid shouldn't matter at all. Nobody said anything about not paying people lol

The OP said if the founder is getting paid a salary it shouldn't be called a non-profit.

That is literally what the OP is arguing that people who found non-profit organization shouldn't be paid even a modest salary for their work.

I wouldn't say that a salary is profiteering from a non profit. It's the cost of doing (non-profit) business.
