dontmaimyourself 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2005 Wait....Mozilla Firefox is kind of opensource right.....opensource can't be bought from what I've heard.....that's why linux is still alive. (Evil Micro$oft!) 161768[/snapback] Heres my understanding of the situation feel free to point and laugh if I am incorrect, but Mozilla is not actually a company its a non profit organisation which co-ordinates the developement of the Firefox web browser which is open source, and therefore cannot be bought. And anyway if Google wanted the Firefox source code they could just go here and get it. But that could possibly be incorrect. Anyway if that happened somepeople somewhere would most likely break away and start again, well they did it before with Netscape, they'll do it again with Google. Plus you can just keep using Firefox 1.0.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
