Mozilla Dev Team On Firefox's Success

Titus Germanicus writes "If you're thinking about open sourcing a project in the near future, Mozilla might be the perfect blueprint to follow. At last week's Mesh 2008 conference in Canada, Mike Shaver, chief technology evangelist and founding member at Mozilla, and John Resig, a JavaScript evangelist at Mozilla — two of the key figures behind the success of Mozilla's Firefox Web browser — listed inclusivity and transparency as two of the top cornerstones of any community-built project. Shaver said in this interview that because the Web is intended for everybody, the level same openness should be shared with Firefox's open source contributors."

IIRC, there is almost no BSD-licensed code (maybe none) in modern versions of Windows.

You say that like people use modern* versions of Windows.

*(and I use "modern" to mean "released recently" here)

Firefox was already the most widely used open source consumer product in the world before the Google revenue existed.

Yes indeed, all 10 users...
