Why? <https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/#more-8413> BTW: I don't know how much revenue goes towards SeaMonkey (if any), but I reckon that if any it is a very small sum. I think that Mozilla Foundation primarily provides 'infrastructure' - see Kairo's interview from 2010: <http://www.root.cz/texty/robert-kaiser-seamonkey-is-missing-marketing-team/> I'd say your best bet is to support the volunteer developers that take time from their day jobs to work on the SeaMonkey project. You can of course contribute to Mozilla: <https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/contribute/Give-Now> to help things along... "Contributions go to the Mozilla Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, to be used in its discretion for its charitable purposes. They are tax-deductible in the U.S. to the fullest extent permitted by law. " They probably should update that page to reflect accepting Bitcoins: <https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/20/mozilla-now-accepts-bitcoin/> Also see: <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Donate> <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Ways_to_Give> <http://www.zazzle.com/seamonkeyproject> <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/about> _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
