Good examples, Ryan.
Corporations (profit or nonprofit) are individuals in a legal sense, so
those are easy - no collusion.
Regarding the club example... I agree with you in that I would not see a
club working on a common project being collusion because there is only a
single end purpose - not a bunch of people with separate interests
(reselling, personal, and otherwise). But that is my opinion so, of
course, I may be completely full of it - a lawyer's opinion may differ.
