[hackerspaces] [wiki] TechShop

[Far McKon]

Techshop is a for-profit company, so I think it clearly falls into a
'Tool Gym' or Co-Working space. Both Techshop and Pokono have been (in
the past) listed and removed as 'hackerspaces'.

IMHO, there is a clear difference between registered non-profit
hackerspaces, 'for benefit of members' hackerspaces, and 'tool-gym'
CoWorking spaces. I think it's false advertising IMHO.

I don't hold anything against TechShop, they are pretty awesome. But it
should be clear they are neither by members, nor are not a non-profit
(two things that IMHO, a hackerspace needs one or other of).
