I am really confused on what Mozilla is. Yes, I do know they make the web browser, Firefox, but I am very confused on their organizational structure. It is sort of a broader question on how nonprofit organizations work and how they make money.
So, how does Mozilla employ and pay its staff? And could someone explain the Mozilla Foundation vs Mozilla Corporation?
also, a side question, can nonprofit organizations charge for a product in order to pay for the costs for making said product, or must it all come from donations?
I'm asking because I'm not sure if I should make my software company a nonprofit or a for profit. I don't want to make money from it, I just need to pay for costs and pay for wages. Is it allowed to have paid workers in a nonprofit, or do they all have to be volunteers?
