When Mozilla announced their Terms of Use a few months ago, they told us that they would be asking us to acknowledge it at a later date. That day is here, and I took a quick look at it.

Well - I don't know about them being the same.

The new terms specifically disclaims Mozilla's ownership of your data:

This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

which limits their license to your data to processing it for usage within Firefox or Mozilla services. That is a huge difference. I don't see how they would be able to claim - in a clickwrap agreement - that Mozilla saying that they don't own your data somehow grants Mozilla ownership of your data.

That would be mind boggling.
