'Google to buy Firefox?' Impossible!
Just reading some unfounded speculation over on Spread Firefox, 'Google to buy Firefox?'
Perhaps I'm wrong but I was under the impression that buying an open source project is impossible, what would a company buy exactly? Mozilla Foundation doesn't 'own' the Firefox source code. Even a project under corporate stewardship such as Helix Player can't really claimed to be 'owned' by RealNetworks even if it decides what gets in to the product.
