I do see the point that you are making, and clearly prevents is not absolutely true, but the beauty of open companies like Mozilla is that this information is available at all. In an issue tracker no less.

We can be a little more charitable in not demanding legalese from someone who was casually paraphrasing somebody else, given the context (a bug report).

Mozilla is open? Which manager signed off on the Pocket implementation? Where are the minutes for the meetings in which that was agreed?

Mozilla make open source, they're not open like a publicly accountable body, are they?

Sorry, ironically I didn't mean to imply openness in any legal sense (although the foundation itself is publicly accountable in terms of what they spend their money on).

Open companies was probably a bad term to use because it might imply something beyond most/all(?) of their products being developed in the open, but I think the point stands well enough regardless.

I won't edit now, but please read my original "open" as "open source".
