Re sending with a proper formatting
Hello folks, First, a quick intro. I am a director working for Mozilla, and I have been a Debian developer for a long time. I managed the Iceweasel → Firefox renaming back in the day: https://lwn.net/Articles/676799/ and the Rust trademark: https://lwn.net/Articles/901816/ Thanks for the input about the TOU and the connection with the DFSG. I would like to point out that Mozilla has published an update about the Terms of Use: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/. As described in Mozilla’s communication, due to changes in laws in various places where Mozilla operates (particularly California and the EU), having a clear Terms of Use in the product became a necessity (all other major browsers also have terms, open source or not). In parallel, Firefox is relying more and more on remote services to operate (downloading models for translation, crash reporting with potential PII, telemetry, new tab page, etc.). This is why we had to put this in place. Our Privacy Notice comprehensively describes what data Firefox processes, collects, and shares. The data sent to our Sync servers is encrypted. The data collected as part of telemetry is clearly documented here: https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/ Now, the license of Firefox, MPL, hasn’t changed. It is still an OSI/DFSG-compliant license. The TOU doesn’t violate any of the DFSG terms, as it doesn’t (and won’t) discriminate against any category. However, we reserve the right to block access to some of our online services in case of abuse. Cheers, Sylvestre
