Mozilla accuses Finfisher of using Firefox as a cover for surveillance software

<i>In 2011 the BBC found documents in the state security building in Egypt, looted during the uprising, which suggested that the Hampshire-based firm had offered to supply Finfisher to the Egyptian government to monitor activists.</i><p>How does someone do this — sell surveillance software to totalitarian states so they can "monitor" dissidents and activists — and then sleep at night, or face their children in the morning?

I believe there was also a question as to whether it complied with the terms attached to the LGPL-licensed GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library.<p>-- <a href="https://citizenlab.org/2013/04/for-their-eyes-only-2/" rel="nofollow">https://citizenlab.org/2013/04/for-their-eyes-only-2/</a>

I like how that say that it is " legitimate surveillance software". In my opinion, there is no such thing, regardless of its legality.
