I should think any entity would be able to use the Mozilla Corporation
"wholly-owned for-profit corporation" strategy to get around this.
If a charity can own a corporation, surely so also can a civic
government own a "private sector" business.
There are also partnerships or 49%+51% joint ventures.
Or just give the "private" business to the mayor's brother-in-law like
most planning-permission deals. No-one wants democracy to interfere
with business, after all!
