구글에 먹히고 있는 Firefox

오늘 아무 생각없이 slashdot rss 를 훑다보니 이런 기사가 있네요.

eldavojohn writes "The Mozilla Foundation's chief executive now earns roughly half a million in pay and benefits. With $70 million in assets, the Foundation gave out less than $300,000 in grants to open source projects in 2006. And in 2006 85% of their $66 million in revenue came from Google. When these figures first came to light, people worried whether Firefox was becoming a pawn in Google's cold war with Microsoft. The Foundation addressed these fears and largely laid them to rest; but now the worry is that, even though it's clear that the community's code is what makes Firefox successful, Mozilla may be becoming dangerously reliant on Google's cash."

한줄 요약하면 모질라 파운데이션의 수익 중 85%가 구글에서 나온다는 내용입니다.
구글이 과연 몇 년 후에도 don't be evil이라고 외칠 수 있는 곳이 될 수 있을지 무척 궁금해지는군요.
