Add-ons are often the result of the work of a team of developers, which is why add-ons on AMO can have multiple authors. Authors may be designated as owners or developers. Both types of author can update and manage the add-on and its listing, but only owners can add authors to the add-on. The owners of an add-on can transfer ownership and add authors to an add-on through the Developer Hub.
Transfer ownershipNo interaction with Mozilla representatives is necessary for a transfer of ownership, follow these steps:
The new owner can now manage updates, listing information, and perform all the other add-on listing tasks.
Code disputesThe nature of add-ons means that their source code to be viewed. This visibility does not mean that the source code is open source or available for use in another add-on. The original author of an add-on retains copyright to their work unless otherwise noted in the add-onâs license.
If we're notified of a copyright or license infringement, we will take steps to address the situation in line with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which may include taking down the add-on listing. Details about this process and how to report trademark or licensing issues are found here.
If you are unsure of the current copyright status of an add-onâs source code, contact the author and get permission before using the source code.
