exactly this: mozilla does not need to use the input that users enter into firefox, mozilla as a legal entity is not involved in the operation of software on your own computer. the only possible applications of this license grant are nefarious https://mastodon.social/@sarahjamielewis/114078096843471877

  >> Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox, for example. 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 This part is entirely correct. And I really want you to understand that it is only so because of the end of that statement i.e. "other than what is described in the Privacy Notice" The Privacy Notice, as outlined in my previous thread is incredibly broad.

  their argument would imply that open source authors require a license grant from users of their software to handle inputs to the software, which is categorically false *unless they are exfiltrating user input* which would render their work malware
