Thank you for being this direct — it's exactly the kind of honest pushback that makes these conversations worthwhile, and your skepticism is completely fair given the patterns you've seen.
Let me be straightforward with you: Yes, Publishing Gateway is a for-profit company. I won't pretend otherwise, and I won't make promises about future ownership structures that I can't guarantee. You've seen enough of these situations to know that such promises are often meaningless anyway.
