I asked several people but no one was sure who is making money out of this freeware, Firefox. I was actually impressed to see the message saying "over 10,000 people test..." when I happended to see it after updating the web browser. Terranova does not mention in her book about Firefox and Linux which currently pick up lots of pupularity while they remain as open-source software. It will be interesting to see whether Firefox will be another example of "digital capital hijacking" or a rare case of the Internet "gift economy."
