I read it as "nobody paid Mozilla". Did you understand something else?

  Yeah, it can be interpreted in a few different ways. Sometimes places say "we weren't paid anything" in an attempt to pretend it was out of the goodness of their hearts (or similar)... when in fact they were receiving benefits of some other kind. Just not directly money. Note - Corruption often seems to work like this too, as "payment in services" (eg kickbacks, etc) instead of money can be harder to track. So, when places say they did something and didn't get paid for it... I also (personally) find it's best to double check if they received services/benefits instead which they'd not mentioning. Just in case. It seems like that's what's happening here too.

    The way I read the blog entry is that yes, it was an exchange. I don't feel that it is being spinned, but YMMV.
