- Dalewyn 3y agoMozilla Foundation serves the interests of Mozilla Corporation (including Firefox), and Mozilla Corporation in turn serves the interests of its CEO Mitchell Baker.[1] Foundation makes money for Corporation, CEO steers everything (literally, as CEO of Corporation and Chairman of Foundation).

- roelschroeven 3y agoIn what way does the Mozilla Foundation serve the interests of the Mozilla Corporation? Not financially, that's for sure. How else? That Mozilla Corporation serves the interests of Mitchell Baker, that I can believe. Note that Mitchell Baker is also one of the six members of the board of directors of Mozilla Foundation. > Foundation makes money for Corporation What? No, that's completely incorrect. Corporation makes some money, mainly from deals with search engines, all of which goes from Corporation to Foundation. No money is ever transferred the other way around. Corporation is fully owned by Foundation. Corporation brings in money for Foundation, Foundation steers Corporation.
