The Mozilla term is used to be ambiguous, I think deliberately so. So they get ZERO sympathy from critical readers when they do some BS under the auspice of “no, that wasn’t the non-profit side”. You have one reputation, you live and die by your behavior.
The Corporation / Foundation split is great for accounting and corporate structure, sure, but its not a shield against criticism of their behavior not matching their stated missions.
Mozilla is not a non-profit. And if they were, they are legally bound to it. It’s not optional to go by the mission if you’re a non-profit.

Yes, as I said. Mozilla is not a non-profit. Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit. But that was not mentioned. There is a clear distinction.

The Mozilla Foundation is a thin wrapper for the Mozilla Corporation, and it’s run by the executives themselves.
