Provided the money has no strings about the license...
- roenxi 2y agoMotivation can be important. After Mozilla started taking Google's money they lost a lot of urgency about competing with Chrome to offer a different view of the internet. In this case there don't seem to be any concerning dynamics and generosity or lack thereof is irrelevant. It'll be good for FreeBSD.
- qwytw 2y agoHow could Firefox as a company afford to compete with Chrome or do anything without any revenue? Unfortunately Google's money is almost the only reason why Firefox is still a thing...
- dmurray 2y agoIt's better that it's not funded out of generosity. Now the OS projects can have two revenue streams: one funded by generosity, one by self-interest.
