> your mission statement in your IRS filings is part of how the IRS evaluates if you should keep your non-profit status or not.

So has the IRS spotted the fact that "unconstrained by the need for financial return" got deleted? Will they? It certainly seems like they should revoke OpenAI's nonprofit status based on that.

Why? Very few nonprofits contain that language in their mission statements. It's certainly not required to be there.

Perhaps not, but if it was there before and then got suddenly removed, that ought to at least raise the suspicion that the organization's nature has changed and it should be re-evaluated.
