I'm not concerned with Mozilla being non profit.

Here are some advantages of non profits: http://grantspace.org/Tools/Knowledge-Base/Nonprofit-Managem...

In exchange for being a non profit, the government gives non profits these advantages, and that relates to the public supporting the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

Yeah, there are other mozilla foundations in other countries. There's some listed on the mozilla foundation wikipedia page.

I feel a little trolled, and have other things to do, and I also think this conversation is going nowhere - so am not responding any further.



So the advantages you describe for non-profits are exactly the same as for any limited-liability corporation, except for the tax-free revenue bit. And the revenue Mozilla gets is in fact taxed, since it's revenue of a for-profit corporation.

_You_'re feeling trolled? Pardon me, but as far as I can tell you're doing the trolling....
