Note that these are separate class of H1Bs. If Florida state hires you on cap exempt H1B you can probably move to University of California Irvine but not Google Inc.

Also, if I remember correctly not all non profits can do this, but only certain category of nonprofits hiring for specific roles. Otherwise I could start a non-profit software foundation, bring in workers and then write lots of free and open source software.

Yes, you can bring in workers as long as these workers are used for that non-profit. However, you can't act as a staffing company.

Some administrator at Wright state university got cap-exempt H1B visas, then sent them to various for profit clients: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/wright-state-university...

I'm pretty sure they expect to pay for the software engineers who write open source.

Comment is just saying that MIT and any Florida state school are all nonprofits.

Here's that projecting your own biases on a random thread again.
