Their nonprofit is already accepting donations and they are already selling services. I can't be that hard to "sell" a cosmetic Firefox Premium upgrade, although it might not be used enough to be worth it.
- maccard 5y agoWhy would you think that funds from firefox premium would only go to development for firefox? Do you think money you spend on Azure is ringfenced for Azure development and isn't ever spent on Microsoft Gaming (for example).
- cptskippy 5y agoMany charities will accept donations with restrictions (e.g. Only for program X, Only for Research, etc).
- pessimizer 5y agoBut they're not really enforceable because cash is fungible.
- mulmen 5y agoJust being able to state my intention prevents Mitchell Baker from putting words in my mouth.
- cptskippy 5y agoThere are several legal precedents that say otherwise. Regardless, when you give money to a charity with a restriction or designation and they accept the money but ignore your request that generally doesn't go over well.
- Gigachad 5y agoSounds like they could use your money on Firefox but then allocate less of their own money to it so the result is the same.
