Mozilla's origins stem from the ashes of Netscape and the decision to "Open Source" the browser was a tactical solution rather than an ethical one. In fact, the very term "Open Source" originated from Netscape's licensing decision in the late 90's. Taking this into account the move to embed Digital Restrictions Management on the client side is hardly surprising.
Concurrently, this is the same company that wanted to place ads in browser "to benefit users" only to find out the end users didn't want this pervasive intrusion of privacy.

Of course I know the history: I was more-or-less "there".
Anyway, regardless of their origins, Mitchell chose to form a (c)(3) rather than a for-profit company and filed a charitable mission with the IRS.

Would it be possible for #TCLP to have official vinyl stickers to help support the show? I would love to have one on my workstation tower :)
@tmp If I can find a place that does them on demand and has a low enough initial cost, sure. Any suggestions?
Don't know, but I'd be interested. Something went wrong with my patches (I forget).2013-06-19T03:21:16+00:00 via web To: Public

According to <http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/test/> #GNU runs #Debian . If this is so, why does the #FSF use Debian GNU/Linux but won't endorse it?
FSF doesn't run that server. Anyway, using Debian can be all free. We don't recommend it because of the nonfree connection.2013-05-22T20:50:55+00:00 To: Public
