I would definitely donate to a Gozilla fork.

I don’t think Gozilla is anything to do with Mozilla is it?

Yeah I know that... but what does this have to do with Gozilla? I don’t think Gozilla has ever been a Mozilla or Netscape product. The names are similar but they’re unrelated.

The only relationship between "Godzilla" and "Mozilla" is that portmanteau.

I think the OP's sentiment was that the name "Godzilla," is awesome and it would elate him to donate for the name alone.

I think you’re possibly misreading - they said ‘Gozilla’ not ‘Godzilla’.

Gozilla is proprietary networking software, nothing to do with Mozilla. So Mozilla can’t fork Gozilla.

Godzilla is a monster character and where Mozilla gets its name.

Well, Mozilla did use a red tyrannosaurus rex logo for a while:

I am not sure if that qualifies as an aspiration to be a predator.
