OpenBSD "Frank Hecker from the Mozilla Foundation contacted Theo to inform him that the foundation decided to donate $10000 to the OpenSSH project. Frank mentioned this today in the Mozilla Foundation's status report. The OpenSSH project truly appreciates this gesture of solidarity from such a respectable open source project. Besides this sizeable donation we also received hundreds of smaller donations, mostly from individuals and small companies. Thanks everyone for stepping up to keep OpenBSD/OpenSSH ticking."

When was Mozilla ever a 10 person company?

They had 80+ devs from the start.

80+ people from the start, in your dreams!!! Even now there are barely 80 full time developers working on Mozilla code and many of them are doing it for partner comapnies like IBM, Google or RedHat.

When Netscape was axed by AOL and the Mozilla foundation was created, barely 10 people were hired by the new unit. There is a huge difference between "we have 80 developpers" and "we have 80 PAID developpers". Until very recently key developpers like super-reviewers and module owners were still unemployed and working for free on the project.
