The '''Mozilla Foundation''' is a [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit organization]] that exists to support and provide leadership for the [[open source]] [[Mozilla]] project. The organization sets the policies that govern development, operates key infrastructure and controls [[trademarks]] and other [[intellectual property]]. It owns a [[tax]]able subsidiary: the [[Mozilla Corporation]], which employs many Mozilla developers and coordinates releases of the [[Mozilla Firefox]] [[web browser]] and [[Mozilla Thunderbird]] [[email client]]. The subsidiary is 100% owned by the parent, and therefore follows the same non-profit principles. The Mozilla Foundation was founded by the Netscape-affiliated Mozilla Organization, and was officially launched on July&nbsp;15, 2003. The organization is currently based in the [[Silicon Valley]] city of [[Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California|Mountain View]], [[California]], [[United States|USA]].
 
The Mozilla Foundation describes itself as "a non-profit organization that promotes openness, innovation and participation on the Internet."<ref name="The Mozilla Foundation">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/ |title=The Mozilla Foundation |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref> The Mozilla Foundation is guided by the Mozilla Manifesto, which lists 10 principles which Mozilla believes "are critical for the Internet to continue to benefit the public good as well as commercial aspects of life."<ref name="The Mozilla Manifesto">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/about/manifesto |title=The Mozilla Manifesto |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-12-16}}</ref> The Manifesto has been translated into over 30 languages.
 
== History ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2011}}
On February 23, 1998, [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]] created the '''Mozilla Organization''' to co-ordinate the development of the [[Mozilla Application Suite]].<ref name="Mozilla Launch Announcement">{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20021105061654/http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease591.html?cp=nws04flh1 |title=Netscape Accelerates Communicator Evolution With First Release Of Next-Generation Communicator Source Code To Developer Community Via mozilla.org |publisher=Netscape |accessdate=2011-12-06}}</ref> When [[AOL]] (Netscape's parent) drastically scaled back its involvement with Mozilla Organization, the Mozilla Foundation was launched on July 15, 2003 to ensure Mozilla could survive without Netscape. AOL assisted in the initial creation of the Mozilla Foundation, transferring hardware and intellectual property to the organization, employed a three-person team for the first three months of its existence to help with the transition, and donated $2 million to the Foundation over two years.<ref name="Foundation Launch Announcement">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/press/mozilla-foundation.html |title=mozilla.org Announces Launch of the Mozilla Foundation to Lead Open Source Browser Efforts |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-12-06}}</ref>
 
Initially, the remit of the Mozilla Foundation grew to become much wider than that of mozilla.org, with the organization taking on many tasks that were traditionally left to Netscape and other vendors of Mozilla technology. As part of a wider move to target [[end-user]]s, the foundation made deals with commercial companies to sell CDs containing Mozilla software and provide telephone support. In both cases, the group chose the same suppliers as Netscape for these services. The Mozilla Foundation also became more assertive over its intellectual property, with policies put in place for the use of Mozilla trademarks and [[logo]]s. New projects such as marketing were also started.
 
With the formation of the Mozilla Corporation, the Mozilla Foundation delegated all their development and business-related activities to the new subsidiary. The Mozilla Foundation now focuses solely on governance and policy issues, though it also continues to oversee the projects that have not been "productized", such as [[Camino]] and [[SeaMonkey]]. The Mozilla Foundation owns the Mozilla trademarks and other intellectual property, which it licenses to the Mozilla Corporation. It also controls the Mozilla [[source code repository]] and decides who is allowed to check code in.
 
== Subsidiaries ==
=== Mozilla Corporation ===
{{main|Mozilla Corporation}}
 
On 3 August 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced the creation of [[Mozilla Corporation]], described as "a [[tax]]able [[subsidiary]] that serves the non-profit, public benefit goals of its parent, the Mozilla Foundation, and that will be responsible for product development, [[marketing]] and distribution of Mozilla products."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www-archive.mozilla.org/reorganization/ |title=Mozilla Foundation Reorganization |date=2005-08-03 |publisher=Mozilla}}</ref> It also handles relationships with businesses, many of which generate income. Unlike the Mozilla Foundation, the Mozilla Corporation is a tax-paying entity, which gives it much greater freedom in the [[revenue]] and business activities it can pursue. The majority of the revenues comes from [[Google|Google Inc.]], which is the default search engine on Mozilla Firefox.
 
===Mozilla Online Ltd===
[http://www.mozillaonline.com Mozilla Online Ltd] ({{zh|c='''北京谋智网络技术有限公司'''}}), a.k.a. [[Mozilla China]], is a wholly owned subsidiary of the [[Mozilla Corporation]]<ref>"谋智网络是Mozilla Corp.在中国的全资子公司..."[http://www.mozillaonline.com/about/careers.html 谋智网络 » 关于我们 » 职业机会]</ref> with its headquarters in [[Beijing]].
 
== Financing ==
The Mozilla Foundation accepts donations as a source of funding. Along with AOL's initial $2 million donation, [[Mitch Kapor]] gave $300,000 to the organization at its launch. The group has [[tax-exempt]] status under IRC [[501(c)(3)]] of the U.S. tax code, though the Mozilla Corporation subsidiary is taxable.
 
In 2006, the Mozilla Foundation received $66.8 million in revenues, of which $61.5 million is attributed to "search royalties".<ref name="2006 financial report">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/documents/mf-2006-audited-financial-statement.pdf|format=PDF|title=2006 Independent Auditor's Report and Consolidated Financial Statements}}</ref>
 
The foundation has an ongoing deal with [[Google]] to make Google search the default in the Firefox browser search bar and hence send it search referrals; a Firefox themed Google search site has also been made the default home page of Firefox. The contract originally expired in November 2006. However Google renewed the contract until November 2008 and again through 2011.<ref>[http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/28/mozilla-extends-lucrative-deal-with-google-for-3-years Mozilla Extends Lucrative Deal With Google For 3 Years]</ref> On {{date|2011-12-20}} Mozilla announced that the contract was once again renewed for at least three years to November 2014, at 3 times the amount previously paid, or nearly $300 million annually.<ref name='Swisher'> {{cite web | url = http://allthingsd.com/20111222/google-will-pay-mozilla-almost-300m-per-year-in-search-deal-besting-microsoft-and-yahoo/ | title = Google Will Pay Mozilla Almost $300M Per Year in Search Deal, Besting Microsoft and Yahoo | accessdate = 2012-01-18 | last = Swisher | first = Kara | authorlink = Kara Swisher | date = 2011-12-22 | work = [[All Things Digital]] | publisher = [[Dow Jones]] | quote = The search giant will pay just under $300 million per year to be the default choice in Mozilla’s Firefox browser}}</ref><ref>[http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/12/20/mozilla-and-google-sign-new-agreement-for-default-search-in-firefox/ Mozilla and Google Sign New Agreement for Default Search in Firefox]</ref> Approximately 85% of Mozilla’s revenue for 2006 was derived from this contract. This amounts to approximately US$56.8 million.<ref name="2006 financial report" />
 
== People ==
The Mozilla Foundation [[Board of Directors]] has five members:<ref name="About the Mozilla Foundation">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/about.html |title=About the Mozilla Foundation |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref>
 
* [[Mitchell Baker]] (Chair)
* [[Brian Behlendorf]]
* [[Brendan Eich]]
* [[Joi Ito|Joichi Ito]]
* Bob Lisbonne
 
Originally, [[Christopher Blizzard]] had a seat on the board, but he moved to the Mozilla Corporation Board of Directors when it was established; Joichi Ito joined the Mozilla Foundation board at that time. Bob Lisbonne and [[Carl Malamud]] were elected to the board in October 2006.
 
The Mozilla Corporation also has a number of employees, many of whom worked for the foundation before the establishment of the corporation.
 
The Mozilla project has traditionally been overseen by a committee known as mozilla.org staff; some individuals on that committee later became Foundation or Corporation board members or employees.
 
== Support for natural ecosystems ==
 
Mozilla is dedicated to preserving and promoting a healthy online space. As the community develops new versions of [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]] and [[Mozilla Thunderbird|Thunderbird]], park names are chosen as the code names for each product release.<ref name="Mozilla parks">{{cite web|url=http://www.mozilla.org/parks/ |title=Mozilla parks |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref>
 
==Donations ==
In 2006, after a request from [[Theo de Raadt]] of [[OpenBSD]] for funding from corporate entities which make a profit through the use of [[OpenSSH]] in their packaged distributions, the Mozilla Foundation donated US$10,000 to de Raadt and OpenBSD for OpenSSH development. The funds donated came from money earned through the income provided by Google. While the target of this request were corporations such as [[Cisco]], [[IBM]], [[Hewlett-Packard|HP]], and [[Red Hat]] (which all sell operating systems containing OpenSSH but have not donated to its continued development before), the Mozilla Foundation found that without OpenSSH, much of the work done by developers would be through insecure and unsafe methods and thus gave the funds as a thank you.<ref>{{cite web

At the end of [[2010]], the Mozilla Foundation partnered with [[Knoxville Zoo]] in an effort to raise awareness about endangered red pandas. Two [[red pandas]] (a.k.a. [[Red panda|firefox]]) cubs born at the [[Knoxville Zoo]] have officially become a part of the Mozilla community. The cubs are named Spark and Ember by online voters and Mozilla broadcasted a 24 hour live video stream of the cubs for several months.<ref name="Meet the Newest (and Cutest) Mozillians">{{cite web|url=http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2010/12/03/meet-the-newest-and-cutest-mozillians/ |title=Meet the Newest (and Cutest) Mozillians |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref><ref name="Firefox Live Blog with Knoxville Zoo">{{cite web|url=http://firefoxlive.squarespace.com/ |title=Firefox Live Blog with Knoxville Zoo |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref><ref name="@cubcaretaker on Twitter">{{cite web|url=http://twitter.com/cubcaretaker |title=@cubcaretaker on Twitter |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref><ref name="Firefox live">{{cite web|url=http://firefoxlive.mozilla.org/ |title=Firefox live |publisher=Mozilla Foundation |accessdate=2011-01-23}}</ref>
