Making money or spreading Firefox?

Posted by Up North on Mon, 01/29/2007 - 06:11Licensing Issues

Hi dear sfx-ers

 what do you think of this get-browsers-dot-com?

- Are they just making money with this?
- Are they spreading Firefox?
- Is it even allowed?

I know this is not a very project driven post, but if this is a Spreading Firefox approach why do they not link from Mozilla.com?

AFAIK there isn't anything illegal about it until they start charging directly. Ads are fine, ads are good, ads make the 'Net go round.

 

Crap, my CSS is valid. TGI Firefox

Not good

They are making money and they could spread a bad word about Firefox.

They have mispelled "FireFox".

They are citing reviews that have errors in them "You can configure it to automatically download most files when you click on them, but not .exe files". You can download exe files, you just can't run them by default from the browser, but you can configure Firefox to run them (just requires a little work).

They don't seem to have any contact info.

They don't have a link to Mozilla's website.
