No - you didn't. Please learn to read and stop spreading more rubbish
(or just go back to setting fire to cats and winos).


TL;DR (Too Lazy;Don't Read?)
For those concerned by this engineered scare campaign - what the article
*actually* says is that the closed source bits will *not* be shipped by
Mozilla - they are a plugin from, like most plugins, a third-source.
Like Fffflash.
And just like Fffflash you don't have to install it unless you have a
compelling reason (whatever you define as compelling).

So stop the bullshit.
Mozilla will not be shipping closed code.
Mozilla will not be changing the license for their code.
Mozilla will be shipping an Open Source sandbox for the plugin.
Sticking pencils up your nose is not good for you.
