Does the license even permit this? I'm not going to do the legwork for you, but I'd examine this very carefully with the help of a lawyer who has worked on these sorts of issues before. This may mirror the driver issue in the linux kernel -- even plugins may be contaminated by open source licenses. (Contaminated used in the nicest way possible; I'm a big fan of OS licensing and software.)
- SwellJoe 18y agoYes. Mozilla products are licensed very generously. It is a roughly BSD-like license, though it has stronger trademark and liability terms. The license is online, and the Mozilla foundation has never been secretive or quiet about permitting commercial uses. Several companies have built commercial products using XUL for the UI, for example. This is definitely not a GPL-licensed codebase, and the license is in no way "viral".
