A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The Mozilla Corporation does not accept monetary donations, those go to the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. This is a common misunderstanding.
Mozilla Location Services is currently run by the Corporation. I imagine making that dataset public could have privacy implications, since it is likely relying on wifi locations.
They should give MLS to the Mozilla Foundation in that case.
That wouldn't solve the patent trolls issues, only getting out of the United Corporate States would.
