Sorry, but that is hard to understand without more explanation. The
latter sentence is a pretty bold statement, and to a casual observer
(like me), it's not clear how this applies to the question.
Let me phrase the question this way: How does the decision of an open
source implementation of our marketplace influence how and what apps
can be found in the most important app discovery service on Firefox OS
devices (i.e. the Firefox Marketplace on our official domain) and in
the only mechanism to get privileged apps onto currently shipped
devices (i.e. in a "trusted marketplace" they have on there)?
I see. The problem at hand doesn't have a good short term solution and I
share Nukeador's and your concerns. The reason short term doesn't have a
good solution is that as you point out, the Mozilla marketplace is
currently the only one out there.
But, medium/long term, it's possible to create other marketplaces (that
also allow to install privileged apps) that fall under other
jurisdictions. I don't think there is such a marketplace yet, but it can
exist.
A question is: how would these marketplaces get traction? And here
Mozilla can play a role. Mozilla (the Foundation and Corporation) is
based in the US and probably can't host a marketplaces that doesn't
comply to DMCA. But if judged fit, Mozilla can appropriately use its
resources to promote other marketplaces. If appropriate too, Mozilla can
build tools that help publishing an app to different marketplaces.
