On: Mozilla signs fresh Google search deal

I would definitely donate to a Gozilla fork.

I don’t think Gozilla is anything to do with Mozilla is it?

> The project took its name, "Mozilla", after the original code name of the Netscape Navigator browser — a portmanteau of "Mosaic and Godzilla".

Yeah I know that... but what does this have to do with Gozilla? I don’t think Gozilla has ever been a Mozilla or Netscape product. The names are similar but they’re unrelated.

The only relationship between "Godzilla" and "Mozilla" is that portmanteau.

I think the OP's sentiment was that the name "Godzilla," is awesome and it would elate him to donate for the name alone.

[chrisseaton → aesh2Xa1]

I think you’re possibly misreading - they said ‘Gozilla’ not ‘Godzilla’.

Gozilla is proprietary networking software, nothing to do with Mozilla. So Mozilla can’t fork Gozilla.

Godzilla is a monster character and where Mozilla gets its name.

Well, Mozilla did use a red tyrannosaurus rex logo for a while:

I am not sure if that qualifies as an aspiration to be a predator.
