I think that there is a reasonable argument to be made that, among other reasons, choosing this kind of structure means that precisely this kind of argument can be made to solicit donations to help fund certain parts of the picture yet therefore but indirectly allow more of other income to remain available for allocation elsewhere.

Hence the allocation of that “other income” is still very much a related concern, but with just enough indirection that Mozilla can evade scrutiny of it when it comes to executive pay.
