Interesting. I made my comment after visiting their repo and website. Didnt see a pixel worth of the mozilla brand there, hence my comment.
On a second visit I notice a link to mozilla.org on their footer.
Still doesent ring official by me from being a veteran mozilla user (netscape, mdn, firefox) but ok, thanks for the explanation.
Good feedback. Some of this is intentional - as an independent and growing ~20-person company, we're able to operate more quickly than the larger Mozilla organizations, and we're purposefully distancing ourselves from the associated bureaucracy that comes with any large organization. We are very much in line with the Mozilla ethos around personal ownership, privacy, control, and agency. We're figuring out how to best push on those principles in the world of AI, and appreciate feedback and contributions from the community.
I agree it's not very clear. They would do well to mention it somewhere besides the main site footer because it would probably help adoption / community / testing too. That said, any company with a lawyer wouldn't let that stand as a name-squat for long.
