Title is inaccurate. Mozilla get a nonexclusive license. That is different from ownership.
The license grant in these terms does not specify the license is irrevocable. The licensor, i.e., the Firefox user, reserves the right to revoke.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 2y agoThe license does not say that Mozilla owns information that the user inputs through Firefox. But the HN title does. If Mozilla owns the information then it would have no need for a license. Further, the license does not specify that it is perpetual. A Firefox user does not grant Mozilla perpetual rights to use the information. These rights can be terminated.
- dang 2y agoThanks—we've updated the title to mention licenses now. I think probably we'll end up merging all these threads; not sure yet. Edit: merging into https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43185909 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43185909. Earlier thread (in this case) was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43200065 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43200065, which had that title.
