MITRE is absolutely not an FFRDC. It's a regular old 501(c)(3) which happens to manage FFRDCs.



Yes, you are correct, I should have typed "runs". But the point is that MITRE runs the U.S. National Cybersecurity FFRDC that maintains the CVE system, and FFRDCs are deliberately structured to minimize potential conflicts of interest (GP comment) and are definitely distinct from private industry (parent comment).
