To ensure our mission always comes first, Proton is transitioning to a non-profit structure and formalizing our promise of people before profits.

Seems legit. Going towards a better business model. Don’t know if anything stops them going from non-profit to profit as OpenAI did buy at least their movinf the other way now with intent towards the opposite.

I’ll keep using their service at least.

OpenAI

I think OpenAI has always been a for-profit private company despite its name.

Don’t know if anything stops them going from non-profit to profit as OpenAI

Don’t know about other countries but that’s illegal in the US and not what happened.

Much like Mozilla and RPi, they have a for-profit and a non-profit arm.

Which is the same structure that Proton is moving to.
