> Instead of starting from scratch, we built on top of quinn-udp, the UDP I/O library of the Quinn project, a QUIC implementation in Rust. This sped up our development efforts significantly. Big thank you to the Quinn project.
Awesome, so you sponsored them right?
When I asked about financial support, the Senior Principal Software Engineer from Mozilla I talked to said "Mozilla has no money".
To be fair, we've gotten a great amount of code contributions from the Mozilla folks, so it's not like they haven't contributed anything.
(I am one of the Quinn maintainers.)
It's always interesting how these large organizations can bring in tens of millions of dollars in excess of expenses, yet still manage to "have no money"

It is true, Mozilla has no money (except for paying execs)

Why bother sponsoring any open source projects when they can throw a few extra million into their CEO's salary, while that CEO is running their flagship product (Firefox) into the ground?
They contributed in other ways?
