No, that's an ultimatum and I never proposed that. I proposed that I have a vote. My vote would be collected with all the other votes and the collective vote would determine the funded projects. If my project does survive the vote, I accept that as part of the voting process, without asking for my money back. My point is that work funded from a large budget should be determined by the donors, not Jordan or other members of the core team. That's the purpose of a vote. If Jordan and other members of the core team don't like that model, I expect to see other movements which do. -- Browser war over, Mozilla now free.
