The complex legal structure of Mozilla has always been some what sketchy to me anyway, The Foundation at this point I believe hardly has anything anyway, most of the employees I believe work for the Mozilla Corporation, which is owned by the foundation, but the Mozilla Corporation is for-profit, and is where most of the assets (IP, Pocket, etc) for Mozilla is owned.
At this point I see the Foundation has simply being a Marketing ploy for the corporation as they abandoned the core mission of the foundation long ago, it is just another for profit company at this point
