Was there ever a law stating that corporations have to serve the "public interest" in order to get charters?

Answer #1

No…why would there have been? Corporations exist to serve their shareholders…the ‘public interest’ would not be one of them.

Firefox web browser helped create the for profit mozilla corporation…tell me has that in any way contributed to public good? Even if they have, it’s still not enough, IMHO.
