Mozilla plans to fund developer community (ZDNet)

ZDNet reports that the Mozilla Foundation will be using some of its money to fund outside developers. "The foundation made $5.8 million in 2004 and is thought to have made tens of millions of dollars last year, predominantly from partnerships with search companies, such as Google and Yahoo. Though much of its money has gone toward increasing its head count, some has been used to bulk up its reserve fund. Mitchell Baker, the chief executive of the Mozilla Corporation, the commercial subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, said Mozilla plans to put some of its excess revenues back into the community."

Why doesnt KDE e.V. cut such a deal for konqueror. Money does not stink. I am sure they could put it to good use.

They would need to port Konqueror to Windows first. The effort is underway, but the current code in not ready for end users, as far as I know.
