;What if my project doesn’t have a legal organizational home?  I see this is disfavoured, and exceptional circumstances are required. What might count as "exceptional"?
: You tell us. If a project doesn't have a legal organizational home, we will be handing a large sum of money to an individual with only limited accountability. This means a higher level of complexity and risk. So you need to describe why it's reasonable and important for us to accept that additional risk. We will listen because Mozilla is a pretty flexible organization, but we can’t promise the result will be as you hope.
