Looks like Mozilla have set up a profit making subsidiary of 36 people to help fund Firefox and Thunderbird into the future. They are keen to stress, however, that both Firefox and Thunderbird will remain free and open-source.

On August 3rd, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit public benefit software development organization, launched a wholly owned subsidiary, 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 will be responsible for product development, marketing and distribution of Mozilla products.

hmmm although mozilla is a popular organization, i can't see a massive profit influx from selling tshirts with the firefox logo on, maybe they'll have to go the whole hog and sell mousemats and mugs too
