Watch how Firefox either gets sold or suddenly blocks all ad blocking addons.
Can you sell open source software..?
Not the code per se, but everything around it can be sold. You can sell access to the repository, support services, compilation services, development services, and so on. Mozilla could sell itself to some greasy investor and go full steam ahead on enshittification e.g embed ads in the browser, sell user browsing data, connect it to their own services, and so on.
Anti Commercial-AI license
Anything can happen anytime also
