@teleclimber @10leej @ironicbadger Yeah, I think at least the GrayJay situation is an interesting questioning of "how do we sustainably fund open source software?"
Their solution has issues, but purely OSS licenses are not sufficient either, and I'm not sure how trademarks help small projects (that works fine enough for something large & well known such as Firefox).

@aral @benfrancis @miklo @thomasfuchs

What I did or do now is not important in this discussion (but look at https://capyloon.org in any case).

Perfect is the enemy of good. You start the discussion with the only solution acceptable for you ("fund from taxes"), so you should know what to do right? Instead of wasting your time on Small Web, build a *group* lobbying effort.
The @owa did a great job at something similar in a relatively short time frame.

@aral @benfrancis @miklo @thomasfuchs If a tiny amount of the Mozilla-hate had been used to *actually* build alternatives, maybe the situation would be better?

Why didn't you all pick up the work on Servo to contribute or fund it in the last couple of years for instance? Clean state, open license, no corp overlord. Is that not good enough?

But no, instead we get the same complaints that don't move the needle.

@aral Why do you need https://localhost though? Browsers recognize http://xyz.localhost:port as a secure context, so if you properly use relative urls you can switch from such a local dev env to https://real-domain.org when in production with no hassle.
