Lost me here - I was there - I worked on open sourcing communicator at Netscape and starting Mozilla. We were the one company that tried to own it all, but were out spent and out maneuvered by a more insidious company. This totally misunderstands the situation and the history. Plus the “our CTO” and “CTO letter” at the start was too pretentious. For gods sake; CTOs are just engineers that aren’t worth trusting because they’ve either maneuvered their way to their seat or they are serving the investors on their knees. Any CTO worth a damn knows they aren’t worth a damn. “””
We have been here before. Mozilla exists because one company tried to own the front door to the web, and an open community rose up to make sure it never could. Twenty-five years later, someone is running the same play. We bet on open the first time. Open won. Together, we can do it again.
