Not sure how the Gates foundation (T20 Private Grantmaking Foundation) is relevant in the context of the FSF like foundation NTEE Code: Z99 (Unknown) ["organization is seeking funds from contributions and grants. These funds will be used for unrestricted operating expenses and special projects"], but for example Eben Moglen has made a pretty penny ($155K) in compensation for a part time job at his own charity SFLC between 2/01/05-01/31/06.
