A commenter on that blog post asked the following question:

"I think the community deserves to know more details about this data
exchange. Is Mozilla's proprietary Wi-Fi database now the IP of Combain?
Are stumbler contributions now being used for that company's profit?
Since the Wi-Fi database was deemed too private to release to the
public, unlike like the cell ID database, what precautions are being
taken when sharing it with Combain? For those who trust Mozilla, what
grounds are there for extending that trust to Combain? What data from
Combain, if any, will ever find its way into the public domain?”

While slightly combative in tone, there are some valid questions in
there. If the team could address them, that would be awesome.
