Can you explain what the revenue sharing agreement is, especially after so many Mozilla employees have vehemently denied that Mozilla got money from Pocket for the tie-up?
- rffn 11y agoThis would be outright stupid. While I do not want any default ties to external services like Pocket in the browser I for sure hope that such a data harvesting and customer acquisition effort at least yields money for Mozilla to further fund open source development.
