Developers › A Journal from Behind the Trenches
Mozilla Corporation
According to the New York Times, the Mozilla Foundation is planning to create a for-profit subsidiary to promote further growth of its products.
Much like Opera Software has done as a company for ten years, the new Mozilla Corporation says that it wishes to promote an open Internet. Now, more than ever, actions will speak louder than words.

*Words: "Standards compliance!"
*Action: *Implements non-standard Gecko extensions for web devs to use*
*Words: "Hooray, we are nice people and all!"
*Action: *Underhanded dirt slinging, FUD and lies against competitors*
But there's good news! Maybe this will finally force the Asa troll to shut up...

Hopefully they, like Opera, will contribute even more to the W3C and similar organizations. Opera has several employees that are paid by us to work at the W3C (and WHATWG for that matter). As a commercial entity, they might be able to put real money behind open standards like Opera does. Although they surely contribute already of course.
