We should encourage them to enforce this point. In the context of Android and other devices, there's has been a long discussion about GPL enforcement and what is permitted by different versions. I think you're a bit too optimistic about what Mozilla can enforce. If you want a qualified answer, you should reach out to Mozilla's legal team. > B.

It would be best > if they were explicit about this regardless The difference between an 'unlocked' bootloader and an 'unlockable' bootloader is probably important here, but I agree with the general idea.
