What problem is solved by creating a second corporate subsidiary? This post doesn't really explain.

To keep money streams and decision making for Firefox and Thunderbird separate?

So it can be spun off more easily?

Presumably MZLA is not a 501(c)(3) organization (a Delaware C Corp perhaps?) and can do things that a 501(c)(3) can't, even if the corporation (MZLA) is owned by the 501(c)(3) (Mozilla foundation, in this case).

Hopefully this doesn't mean we end up with pocket on our thunderbird home screens.

I came here to ask the same thing. What were the disadvantages of using the Mozilla Corporation? Will Thunderbird be the only offering in MZLA Technologies Corporation?
