    So the profit from the for-profit is passed up to the non-profit.

    This is a really common organisational structure and not bizarre.

    There’s loads of worthy criticisms to make of mozilla but this is not one of them.

      Sure, whereupon the CEO alone can receive an 8 figure compensation package. That is not at all an issue to the viability of a non-profit.

        It’s not as simple as just deciding to hire people at lower rates of pay.

        Cost cutting is a tricky game. When an organisation is not on a positive trajectory, cost cutting has a very high risk of re-enforcing the underlying problems.

        That’s not to say cost cutting isn’t a worthy objective, but it needs to be carefully considered.

        If you want a CEO with the right skills and connections you need to pay.
