I have subscribed to Mycroft mailing list and I will ask about the
licenses of the plugins, as soon as the moderator approves my
subscription request.

I will check that.

Exactly. We will have the plugin available for Firefox and for
Mozilla. We will install on one directory and create links on another.

First I will see the license. Then, I will see wich plugins we can use
and send a list of plugins to the our list.
Based on the number of plugins, we can see if we would need a new
package or if we can adapt an existing one.
I also saw that it's possible to request search plugins to the Mycroft
project, so we can ask for some plugins that aren't available (for
example, we have a biological database that can be searched on a
webpage, but there is no plugin available to Firefox/Mozilla. We can
ask for such plugin).
When I have more news I will inform you.
Regards,
Nelson
