Mozilla Foundation going commercial… if you sell your soul and your culture… there is soon nothing to be left to sell.

“In 2005, the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation had a combined revenue of US$52.9 million, with approximately 95% derived from search engine royalties.[24][25] ” “Google agreed to pay Mozilla just under a billion dollars over three years in exchange for the browser to leave Google as its default search engine. ”

“The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit organization that exists to support and lead the open source Mozilla project.”
