Chromium extensions should be truly open as are Firefox extensions. The latter, as some might not know, are zip files with an XPI file extension.
Truly Open will allow savvy users to peak into the extension, review it's functionality, AND modify or disable parts found undesirable. Think: Freedom to Tinker. One will comply with the license and not redistribute modified extensions should they be contrary to the license, but ought be able to exercise control and security of one's own system to one's own satisfaction. This has the additional bonus of critical peer review other than "it works for me" type comments found on the official mozilla add-ons site. Depending on the adopted model it might be necessary to implement a 'plays well with others' structure such that forks of Chomium that have disabled- or removed 'features' of privacy or security concern will still function. Cripple-protection if you will.
