Mozilla Report
A free software community founded in 1998 by members of Netscape. The Mozilla ecosystem is made up of mature FOSS software as well as a large user and developer community. Firefox, a free-to-download Internet browser, is one of Mozilla's principal software applications.
In 1998, the Netscape team created the Mozilla Foundation in which their aim was to create free software that would eventually become commercialized. Netscape's parent company, AOL, drastically reduced their involvement in Mozilla in 2003 and the team deprecated the Mozilla suite in favor of pushing out Firefox publicly. Today, Mozilla is still developing open source software with a very active community. About 80% of the Mozilla Foundation's profit is through a contract with Google.
