I truly hope you are correct. However, your link had no quotes from Josh Whedon; it had other people stating what they 'thought' Whedon had meant. Assertions were made that Josh's statements were taken out of context, and they might have been. I wasn't there for the whole interview.
I would LOVE to see Firefly get picked up. It's much better than any other Sci-Fi series I have seen in a quite a while. It has humor, and it has soul; the character development is first rate.
I had never watched an episode of Firefly, until I heard about it after watching Serenity on the big screen 3x. Then I bought the series, and understand why there is such a following for Firefly.
Whedon (or at least someone claiming to be him) posted on that thread.

Absolutely, and its philosophy is solidly conservative/libertarian. If Apple were smart they'd get Whedon to continue new Firefly seaons as iTunes exclusives.
Fox still holds the rights and doubt they will give them up...which is a real shame. Even if they did release the show, from what Whedon had previously said, nobody else (network and cable channels) showed any interest in taking it over.
The best bet for Firefly fans seems to be straight to DVD movies.
Don't look good.
I guess I am the only fan, LOL!
