Hum. Apparently, _someone_ in bizdev thought that "revenue sharing" doesn't involve money, and spread information inside Mozilla accordingly. :rolling eyes:
It seems that we do have a revenue sharing agreement with Pocket. If I understand correctly, we did not receive money for integrating it (which makes the earlier affirmation of "no money" technically true), but we received some money as a result from the integration (which makes that same information much less true in my book). My apologies for spreading false information.
