Mozilla introduced new Terms of Use for Firefox, which drew criticism for broadly stating ownership over user data. Users highlighted a specific line that seemed to grant Mozilla extensive rights over the information they enter. In response, Mozilla clarified that they require a license to enable basic functionalities of Firefox but do not claim ownership over user data. They emphasized that the terms were meant to ensure users retain rights to their data and created this language for operational necessity rather than to exploit user information.
Some users took issue with language that appeared to give Mozilla overly broad ownership over user data.
We need a license to allow us to make some of the basic functionality of Firefox possible.
It does NOT give us ownership of your data or a right to use it for anything other than what is described in the Privacy Notice.
The term "nonexclusive" was used to indicate that Mozilla doesn't want an exclusive license to user data, because users should be able to do other things with that data.
