I generally love Let's Encrypt and what they stand for, but the subjective measure of "public good" is a dangerously slippery slope.

Let's Encrypt is a part of the Internet Security Research Group and is literally a Public-Benefit Organization in California.

Still a subjective measure in some way I suppose, but they are not for profit and I think it would be hard to argue that the organization is not a benefit to the public.

There are plenty of organizations that are incorporated as Public-Benefit Organizations that might still be considered objectionable to get a free pass on hiring posts.
