    Reading through the changes, they don’t reassure me. If Mozilla isn’t intending to monetize, modify or exploit my data in any way, then why do they think that they need any kind of a license for it? A piece of software I use for it’s intended purpose, to send information from my computer to a server and back, doesn’t need to seek a license to use that information.

      There is simply no reason why Mozilla needs a “non-exclusive, royalty free worldwide” license to my content unless they plan on using it for their own purposes.

      Firefox, running locally and under my direction, does not require a license as it is not a legal entity. It is a product.

      Any argument from Mozilla to change the TOU without also removing the language for a license to your data is made in bad faith.

      It’s really that simple.
