Which I would imagine is a problem if Mozilla receives federal funding.

In a way they do... They are tax exempt which means there is a case to be made as being Tax Exempt comes with Strings

For example we do not allow Churches to comment on politics they have to remain neutral or they lose their tax exemption

The same should apply to Mozilla. They need to be politically neutral, up holding Legal Speech, or they need to shutdown the Mozilla Foundation and become a for profit organization

This is an avenue I had not considering exploring. I will have to research constraints on non profits and when they can be reported to the IRS for possibly violating those constraints and an evaluation can occur to consider revoking their 503c status.
