If that does happen, then no company is ever going to release their
code under a GPL-compatable licsence ever again. Hopefully <s>messiah
complex boy</s> Richard Stallman will recognise that and encourage
people to submit their changes back to Mozilla.org for the sake of the
codebase, and for the sake of not causing still more anti-Open Source
FUD in the minds of everyone.
