    Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?

      If you magically generated enough funding, sure. But Mozilla made a deal with the devil to fund itself. Without a similar deal or nearly the entirety of the user base donating, whatever new org would be bound to fail; or at least wouldn’t be able to perform all the same functions.
