Note that these are separate class of H1Bs. If Florida state hires you on cap exempt H1B you can probably move to University of California Irvine but not Google Inc.

Also, if I remember correctly not all non profits can do this, but only certain category of nonprofits hiring for specific roles. Otherwise I could start a non-profit software foundation, bring in workers and then write lots of free and open source software.

Yes, you can bring in workers as long as these workers are used for that non-profit. However, you can't act as a staffing company.

Some administrator at Wright state university got cap-exempt H1B visas, then sent them to various for profit clients: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/wright-state-university...

Free software doesn't mean that software engineer time is free (which I know you are aware of but readers may not).

I'm pretty sure they expect to pay for the software engineers who write open source.

What’s the problem with graduating from a state college in Florida? Can they not produce valuable research or innovate for this country?

Comment is just saying that MIT and any Florida state school are all nonprofits.

Here's that projecting your own biases on a random thread again.
