Robert: you are already in that business by distributing trust anchors that you 
have (sometimes) vetted. You are a CA without signing anything, just by 
distributing a trust anchor repository.


Kind of....Mozilla doesn't certify really anything, but extends some trust (to the user). The "trust thing" happens here, so many times mentioned incorrectly in relation to web sites and EE certificates.

Even though one can look at it as you described, I'd not state it explicitly this way - minor point however.
