Mozilla is a nonprofit with its own principles in is charter. It isn't just a business.

An incorrect albeit widespread misconception. Mozilla is _both_ the Mozilla Corporation, an ordinary business, _and_ the Mozilla Foundation, a not-for-profit organization.

True, but not in contradiction with my earlier statement.

The corporation's charter is to support the Foundation's goals through market activities not allowed for nonprofits, not to generate profit as a traditional joint-stock corporation.
