especially when some practitioners at the nonprofit charge full fees

I'm not certain that occasional voluntary donations constitute "full
fees for some of the work".

"especially when" is not a disqualifying caveat.

 That's for certain.  But does "voluntary donations" constitute "full
fees"?

Likely not, but as I wrote "especially when" is not disqualifying

3. Does the nonprofit derives an unfair advantage over others because
it does not have to comply with Wage & Hour Laws?
If ES relies exclusively on volunteer labor due to its non-profit
status, then it has a competitive advantage over an incorporated
for-profit business that is required to adhere to wage and labor laws,
so, yes.

 Let's make it clear.  I'm not arguing.  I don't influence either.  I'm
asking for your competent opinion.
 Is 'one-man shop with voluntary donations' equivalent with 'enterprise
relying on volunteer labor'?

That would be for the courts to decide. The test as it's written would certainly allow a contestable case.
BTW - it's nice seeing a poster in here with an understanding and respect for usenetiquette.
