Non-profit isn't the same as not-for-profit

Take American Red Cross

They make bank on blood donations. Also, they take in way more than they put out.

The red cross fucking sucks too

This smells like BS.

Is mozilla non-profit, not-for-profit, or for-profit?

You dont really know do you.

"I dont like mozilla so ill just assume they must be profiteering assholes somehow"

"Its the vibe of the thing"

I only use Firefox. I've only used Firefox since 2000.

They, by their own statements, are a 501( C )3, which is a non-profit, not a not-for-profit.

Sit down.

You seem to be able to google "mozilla non profit" but unable to elucidate whether it is in fact a non-profit and why that is so.

Again, you're offering hand wavy vibe based explanations as to why mozilla is "bad". What exactly is the problem?

I have worked for non-profits.

They are completely allowed to make a profit.

You are mistakenly under the impression that I'm against Mozilla.

If you go back to my original comment, I merely explained what I explained here. Mozilla is a non-profit, not a not-for-profit.

You decided to take that as an attack on Mozilla, for some strange reason, and attacked me. I just turned that same energy back on you.

Did I ever attack Mozilla? Did you attack me?
