- earthnail 10mo agoFor someone not in the loop, can you explain the difference between the two orgs and maybe even explain what each org uses the money for?
- swiftcoder 10mo agoThe Foundation owns the trademarks, and mostly does evangelism. The (subsiduary) Corporation actually develops the browser (and accepts a bunch of revenue from Google for Search placement)

- cardanome 10mo agoThe Mozilla Foundation does lots of "spreading awareness" but does not contribute to Firefox development. That is the most vexing part. I want to donate for Firefox development. Not marketing, not side projects, let me just fund the devs. But no, that is not possible. Blender is a huge success story relying on sponsors and donations, Wikipedia is swimming in money but no we can't just have a free browser. No we need to have a Mozilla Corporation that lives on Google money for being the controlled opposition i.e. technically avoiding monopoly situation thing. After all CEOs can't get rich on donations, can they?
