Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, you've still got a connection to a for-profit entity. It funds development from its commercial distro and support contracts. It's a mixed bag but has its benefits for the Open Source community. An analogous situation exists for my Linux distro Fedora which is developed by a non-profit organization that was established by and is largely funded by Red Hat. But Red Hat is now a division of IBM. IBM didn't destroy RH, but seems to have let RH modernize IBM.
