Legal Hacks.
mbrubeck: The Mozilla Corporation (which employs many developers and has revenue deals with partners like Google) is a for-profit company, owned entirely by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.This lets Mozilla have a taxable, revenue-generating entity that is not subject to various restrictions on activity of non-profits.  But because the sole owner is a charitable non-profit, the corporation can act in altruistic (i.e. non-profit-maximizing) ways without compromising its "shareholder" interests.I thought this was a neat legal hack because it uses existing legal structures in an unusual way, and lets Mozilla use the best parts of the non-profit and for-profit structures as needed.
