As someone that has run many volunteer open source communities and projects for more than 2 decades, I totally get how big "small" wins like this are.
The internet is run on binaries compiled in servers in random basements and you should be thankful for those basements because the corpos are never going to actually help fund any of it.
It's a shame mozilla wont step up to fund it. They've spunked way more money on way dumber things.
Imagine the good they could do if they didn't pay their CEO 6 million a year.
6 million is 30 really good senior software devs in Stockholm, or I think 10 in SF. American CEO salaries are crazy.
They'd probably burn it without much to show for, like the rest of their funds
