If this were the case, I think it's actually the best reason to disregard the request of the discloser and disclose, as it's now in the public interest (ie, closing a possible backdoor being used to surveil dissidents, etc), not merely part of a private agreement.

But yeah, if mozilla signed an NDA on this, that seems like it was a bad move from the get-go.
