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.

Oxford originally pledged to give their vaccine away for free but Gates convinced them otherwise.
