All of what is made for Beonex gets contributed back to Mozilla. It would
be reasonably easy to structure the code so that that would not have to be
the case. I would say that Beonex are being pretty community-minded.

When it comes down to it, if you are uncomfortable with other people being
able to make money from your work, you'll have to invent a whole new
license for it - because people are making money from code under every
license under the sun - MPL, GPL, BSD...
