Yes, that is my understanding under the Terms of Service as well. Only clarification that Pocket(TM) has gotten back to me on is that the "/v3/firefox/save" call is private/undocumented by design. So far they haven't clarified the conflict between contributing to an open source project and their Terms of Service. It seems like they could clear up a lot of controversy just by stating how much of the ToS actually applies to their firefox integration and how much does not. The fact they won't provide any such clarification makes me assume the worst. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
