Also worth pointing out that, even though it's been over a year and half since the Pocket acquisition, the only thing about Pocket that's been open sourced is still just the browser extension junk to integrate it with Firefox. So it goes like this: 1. Firefox adds integration with a commercial, closed source service (Pocket) 2. People get up in arms about it 3. Mozilla issues some specially crafted statements about the relationship with Pocket (the decision to ship Pocket "has absolutely nothing to do with money"—it's only shipping because Firefox PMs like Pocket); so even if they are receiving kickbacks, this can arguably still be true, but it's widely understood to mean that there's no money changing hands 4. Mozilla's own employees who were taken in by the PR begin showing up in conversations thereafter and explicitly saying there's no money changing hands—because they don't know any more than what everyone else was told in #3 5. It's later revealed that there has, in fact, been a revenue sharing agreement with Pocket, contra claims otherwise 6. It's reported that Mozilla is finally just going to acquire Pocket, and it will become open source 7. Concerns are abated; people move on 8. There is no #8. The open source thing was never true. Pocket remains about as open source as it was before the acquisition.
