It's also disingenuous to call Mozilla a non-profit, given its wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/organizations https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/organizations. Used to be that mozilla.com was the homepage for the for-profit wing, but I see now that it just redirects to mozilla.org. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla doesn't mention the for-profit subsidiary either.
(I'm still a happy user of firefox. I just care about keeping them accountable.)
- fabrice_d 11y agoTechnically for profit, but with no external shareholders to bow to, no stock options for employees, etc. Don't be misguided by the administrative setup. Mozilla is earning money from partnerships, but the company goals are driven by the not-for-profit mission statement. It takes resources to stay in the game...
- rhino369 11y agoExactly. It's a non-profit that owns a company. All proceeds go into the non-profit.
