Right, but under US law you cannot give a license to a program. Only to people, or groups of people that we call a company. You’re giving Mozilla permission to implement the features in Firefox, since you can’t just give permission to Firefox.

But Firefox doesn’t need a license to give me a program that I can use to do stuff on my device. They only need a license if they get access to the data.
As I've said, I totally agree. But Mozilla’s lawyers don’t.
