   @z428 @dexternemrod @Mer__edith These kind of practises are exactly why @aral has been saying for years Mozilla is being hypocrite. He for example pointed out Mozilla received money from Google for organising conferences. We all know you cannot be impartial if you depend on
   that money.

     @helma @z428 @dexternemrod @Mer__edith I can’t see the original post but Mozilla didn’t receive money from Google for organising conferences (folks like The Software Freedom Conservancy did). No, Mozilla’s case is far worse. The only reason Mozilla exists is because of the half a billion dollars or so that Google pays it every year.
