Now it simply reads:

> No hidden costs or anything.
> You don’t #pay anything to use it.

Again, a pledge to not sell people's data has disappeared. #Varma insisted this is the result of the fluid definition of “sell” in the context of data sharing and privacy.

“Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’), and we don’t #buy data about you,” he said. “We changed our #language because some jurisdictions define ‘sell’ more broadly than most people would usually understand that word.”

I used to read them, and they were all pretty annoying... don't reverse engineer this s/w, do not modify s/w, you only own a license to use s/w not s/w itself, we hold no liability in case s/w breaks your life, for any dispute you agree to arbitration panel and not a lawsuit, etc.

Then it got REALLY weird when they forced players to accept s/w use metrics collection, and said they would share with business partners.
