    No. Proton is a for profit company whose largest shareholder is a non profit foundation. As is written right in your linked post. The foundation is not the company.

      Which isn’t a bad thing, actually. Being a non-profit can make it hard to expand in some cases, but what makes for-profit companies shit is the shareholders calling for the upward going line, which isn’t the motivator of the shareholder here.
