It's the perfect way to kill one, actually. 1) Give them $0.2 billion a year in easy money 2) Their projects expand as per Parkinson's law so they spend $0.2 billion a year 3) Since they have easy money, they won't bother seeking alternative funding sources 4) They now find themselves in the same position as a crack whore vis-a-vis her pimp Mozilla wouldn't ever abandon their fun pet projects, but with sufficient coercion they might abandon privacy for "fighting hate" or similar.
