  Mozilla is a non-profit in the same sense that a church is a non-profit, while the preacher drives a Bentley. Maybe they should be investigated.

  In my opinion a non-profit where workers are legally prevented (by contract) from talking about their pay and where CEO makes more money than other people should not be called a non-profit. A non-profit should have equal pay for everyone, from office cleaners to administrators.

    There are a lot of organizations that do a lot of good in the world that do not meet that standard.

      I'm personally not convinced that organizations not meeting that criteria can do do "good", as they are aligned with the "bad" status quo. Of course not everything is so binary, but most non-profits nowadays are indistinguishable from for-profits in what they produce and how they operate, and i think that's a problem. EDIT: To name an infamous example that's often cited here on HN: Mozilla. If it was operated like a non-profit, by people driven by vision not money, it would probably have saved the web from whatever Google has turned it into.
