@whitequark@mastodon.social I'm excited about it too! But I don't wanna get burned by the slooooow onset of badness that Mozilla has had or the instant milkshake ladybird fiasco.
Do you have, or do you know of, a good explainer of their new non profit for people who aren't legal experts? Since both OpenAI and ol Mozzy have this "we're a non-profit!... that owns a for profit entity" type of structure that basically ends up acting like a for-profit venture I'm... just more cautious about these types of structures than I used to be.
@aud Mozilla has not been involved with Servo since 2020
@aud @whitequark
From what I know, they have their own fund managed by the Linux Foundation, contributions come from Igalia and others, but otherwise little is known about who major contributors are and whether it affects their decision making in any way.
They have their own page about it, but it doesn't shed any light: https://servo.org/sponsorship/
They don't look big enough (yet) though for something fishy to be happening 🤷
