Maxwell's equations say absolutely nothing about the speed of EM from a
relatively moving source.
Changing Maxwell's equations by kicking and screaming, Henri? :-)

Maxwell's equations apply to light moving in a hypothetical 'aether' ,....which
also provides a rest frame for speed reference.

Does that mean that since the technology based on Maxwell's
equations actually works (or you wouldn't read this),
the existence of the ether is proven?

Maxwell would probably answer "yes".
Would he be right?
