Mozilla is a non profit foundation, the corporation is owned by the non profit and exists for tax reasons only. They're different than a regular corp.

    The NFL was a non-profit until 2015.

    The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a non-profit that stopped the free distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.

    Non-profit status doesn't automatically equal good but Mozilla has been good so far...for the most part. It has had its own controversies.
