When pigs fly!

Can you imagine Mozilla CEO depleting her own compensation in order to sue a company the size of Comcast? What exactly are the claimed damages in this hypothetical lawsuit? The damages to Mozilla are _____ ? (This PR piece in Ars suggests the deal is solely to protect users. No financial details.) How about the damages suffered by users? (Whoops, they are not parties to the agreement.)

Quite the vivid imagination!

Maybe the "white knight" narrative really does work on some people.

Hypothetically, I imagine they'd sue for damage to their brand. Mozilla has been pushing Firefox as the privacy browser, and if Comcast were to break the deal it would hurt users' trust in Mozilla. I agree it is unclear what the consideration from each party is, though.

Comcast does not appear to be using the Mozilla brand. Am I missing something?
