April 2, 2008

　　Dispatch of Tecent science and technologyBeijing time on April 2 message, foreign media publishs pair of red fox today (fund of Mozilla of business of Firefox) browser development will be presiding apparitor Yaohanlili (the interviewing of John Lilly) is recorded. Be in this at before hold before long in interviewing, benefit spoke of the growing course of Mozilla foundation in, and Firefox browser and Microsoft IE browser contend for those who grab the market all sorts of anecdote.

This Zhou Yi (on March 31) , mozilla foundation greeted 10 years old of its birthday. At present gross of user of Firefox whole world already was amounted to 160 million, the main competitor of this browser has Safari of fruit of He Ping of Microsoft IE, Norwegian Opera to wait. Although Mozilla still developed Lei Diao (Thunderbird) email sends and receive the product such as software, but with Firefox browser most famous.

Li of wonderful summary when benefit accepted the outside to interview recently is below:

Ask: A what kind of organization is Mozilla?

Answer: Mozilla is organization of gain of a blame. Although we have many members now former it is entrepreneur, but our purpose is not to get profit, we also won’t let Mozilla appear on the market, won’t extend to employee more stock period counterpoises. We devote into Mozilla, because we can hold the future that Internet browses,be, of course we are not met complacent because of this.

Ask: Be not gain orgnaization as, how do you let Mozilla have powerful market competition ability?

Answer: We are one mixes model orgnaization, we can roll out competitive product to the market. I criticized an apple last week (Tecent science and technology notes: Point to li of benefit to censure an apple not to answer in its ITunes music store and QuickTime video software upgrade automatically) of browser of Safari 3.1 edition is bound forcibly in the service. I do not worry about my income, worry however whether the open sex that carries Internet territory.

Many people feel, the property of Mozilla differs with Google already, also not be the pure beneficent orgnaization of Red Cross and so on, because Mozilla still is met,roll out a product to the market. As identical as Mozilla property of course orgnaization also has a few, be like (classified advertisement website) Craigslist, Vicki 100 divisions (Wikipedia) , although these organizations also are having his product, but their ultimate goal, it is to realize oneself mission.

Ask: Tell from this angle, whether do you think to open source code (the following abbreviation ” open a source ” ) did the browser already defeat business to use a browser?

Answer: We just hope this open world closes no longer. A kind of bad tendency is looking up now, namely hardware, software and service are offerred by an enterprise. Resemble old previously, when American public is using a phone to serve, hardware must be offerred by AT&T, the service also is offerred by this company. (Apple) IPhone mobile phone also is this kind of circumstance almost. Some enterprises were controlled all or adjacent overall product is supplied and serve.

Ask: So say, patent sex product will no longer fashionable?

Answer: Internet industry has his to open a nature, each fields that it can make this industry are had emulative. Be to open a gender to already held a dominant position completely in Internet industry domain so? If we think so, that is off base. It is with IPhone exemple, we cannot enter Firefox browser place among them. They already eliminated any but analytic Java or HTML(exceed text to link indicative language) program. They want to pass legal measure to close his. Consumer hopes to be able to break this kind to close however, consumer has such demand.
