There are some which think the idea of tax exempt status for "non-profit" organizations is a good thing since it allows individuals to decide what to do with their income. There are others which think the idea of tax exempt status for "non-profit" organizations is a bad thing since it deprives the state of tax revenue which could be used for social programs (i.e. public heath care and such).
Now how is this at all related to the original question?
The mozilla foundation is a non-profit, and hence, it *can* get special treatment from Google because Google can possibly deduct the "payments" made to the foundation. In short, I seriously doubt OpenBSD (i.e. individuals) could get the same kind of deal from Google.
www.google.com/firefox You might want to check your facts. Mozilla Foundation entity long ago stopped releasing Firefox, so I would be surprised if MoFo gets any income from google-firefox-branded search. Cheers, Constantine.
