You may be right here; I was remembering from the old days of Mozilla, not Firefox; maybe I shouldn't post contradictions at 0100.

Still, if anyone has references close to hand regarding FF licenses, they'd be welcome.
yep contributors code can't just be taken, but in mysqls case contributors to have their code accepted must agree to give them rights to the code Mozilla probably does things a similar way.
