大意是說: Mozilla Foundation 成立新的應納稅組織 Mozilla Corporation.
Mozilla Foundation 會繼續推動免費，符合公益的開放源碼 Firefox, Thunderbird.

而我猜想 Mozilla Corp. 會會其他的公司企業提供相關與加值服務。以契合 Open Source Software 的目標與理想。畢竟沒有錢是活不下去，程式設計師也不該被期待是無償的工作。

Mozilla Foundation Forms New Organization to Further the Creation of Free, Open Source Internet Software, Including the Award-Winning Mozilla Firefox Browser

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 3, 2005 — The Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit public benefit software development organization, today announced it has formed a wholly owned subsidiary to be known as the Mozilla Corporation. The Mozilla Corporation is a taxable subsidiary that serves the non-profit, public benefit goals of its parent, the Mozilla Foundation, and the vast Mozilla community. It will continue to leverage resources from diverse sources to create and distribute great open and free-of-charge end-user products — such as the popular Mozilla Firefox Web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird email client — that promote choice and innovation on the Web.

我覺得這是非常正面的發展。

Open Source 發展這麼多年了，人們是應該逐漸體認，原始程式碼開放，與商業運作，彼此是不相違背的。
