In principle you are right, but there are regulatory capture scenarios that can undermine that so it is still important to keep paying attention. Speaking as someone who is still baffled by how Mozilla fired I-don't-know-how-many people while still paying the top board members millions a year.
Non-profits are still better than any other currently existing legal construction I can think of though
- mariusor 4y agoAre you by any chance making a confusion between the Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation? The former is the for profit organization that pays most of the developers of the browser and adjacent projects. The foundation is largely meaningless at this point (in my opinion) and serves little purpose outside of providing a good PR talking point.
