"Make a profit" simply implies that the on-sale price might exceed the procurement and distribution cost. In the case of the 2009 Almanac (if that's what it even ends up being called), this modest margin (if any) might, for instance, go towards funding expanded IISAC activities, and also towards ensuring the longevity of this very website - good for IIS web users alike.

By using the term "imager" I'm not sure where I excluded planetary.

Also, I'd assume the profit would be therefore viewed as "donation", as it says in the IIS. Legalistically it is also has some interesting questions, like, I.e. who'd own the rights to contributions?
Call it that if you will. Take it up with Mike, hey? I'm not going to bite. I'm just offering my services in a mechanical capacity here - no more, no less.

Contributors would be listed and declared as copywrite owners of their own images. Intellectual property rights (style, format of the publication as a whole) would probably be copyright IIS.
