The defendant list is a bit bewildering. How usual is a corporate structure like this? Which, if any of these, is the nonprofit?

  OPENAI, INC., a corporation, 
  OPENAI, L.P., a limited partnership, 
  OPENAI, L.L.C., a limited liability company, 
  OPENAI GP, L.L.C., a limited liability company, 
  OPENAI OPCO, LLC, a limited liability company, 
  OPENAI GLOBAL, LLC, a limited liability company, 
  OAI CORPORATION, LLC, a limited liability company, 
  OPENAI HOLDINGS, LLC, a limited liability company,

A non-profit can have a for-profit subsidiary?

A surprising one I came across was a group of government departments that collectively controlled a "shell" government agency that ran a non-profit that owned a for-profit Pty Ltd which had over 1K staff.

It was a "legal fiction" to sidestep union rules, government employment regulations, etc...

This let them hire IT staff at market rates, because otherwise they couldn't pay them a competitive wage as normal public servants working directly for the departments.
