I think the least we can expect for our work on Mozilla is to be
credited and thanked for it.
You mean "You must include a prominent statement that the Modification
is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the
Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in
(a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or
related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of
the Covered Code." ?
Yes.
I think we meant this general situation to be covered by the new 3.4:
"You may not remove or alter any valid copyright or patent notices
contained within the Source Code form of the Covered Software, or any
valid notices of licensing."
I know, but that's not enough.
If I wrote the whole network library, I still wouldn't appear in the
Help | About box.
Similarly, if I take Gecko and build my own browser UI around it, I
don't remove any noticed and don't have to credit anything.
This still 'gives credit'
Unfortunately, it does not.
The above mentioned problems didn't exist in the old wording, it was
much clearer, and had no loopholes.
