What correlation does CEO salary and open source have?

Maybe the comment thinks about "not for profit" org - but even then it seems normal to pay people a competitive salary.

There is an interesting inverse correlation of Mozilla CEO salary and amount of users Firefox has.

I think it's normal to pay competitive salary too, but the salary should reflect one's impact on the company. Looking at the current state of Firefox, I can't imagine why their CEO is compensated as they are.

The amt of politics required to be dealt with == big compensation.

Firefox isn’t, and never was, Mozilla’s revenue source.

What is their revenue source? And what is the reason cash flows from that revenue source if not Firefox? If Firefox did not exist, Mozilla would have no reason to be considered by anyone about anything.

What? The primary revenue source of Mozilla is Firefox due to the search engine revenue they get

Exactly: They could equally well just skin Chromium and keep on setting Google as the default search engine. That's exactly my point-- Firefox isn't the revenue source, auxiliary services around it are.

The salary of their CEO has absolutely no bearing on it being open source. None. Look at Tim Apple's salary, and yet Darwin, Webkit, CUPS, and other projects are open source.
