> Instead you propose that this project should be funded by a for-profit company with it's own objectives in this world (that often starts with "more money"), again leading me to ask why?

You understand that Mozilla Firefox is not funded by the "community" and is completely funded by Google's money. Even donating does not fund the browser.

Mozilla knows that the open source "community" has no money, and cannot replace the amount of money Google is paying them and the employees who work on the browser.

The question is are you ready to fill the $600M a year black hole for Google to NOT pay Mozilla to fund Firefox?

It only makes sense for Servo to get funding from for-profit companies at this point, which is one of the only ways open source can work.
