Free and open-source software, Mozilla Public License, and Ghostery's end-user license agreement
Currently, Ghostery is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Although their website hosts an end user license agreement, that page is not presented to users prior to installation, and users are not given an opportunity to read or accept it. Ghostery is also hosted in the extension directories of supported browsers (e.g. Firefox Add-ons, Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Store, Opera add-ons). Among these listings, the Firefox add-on explicitly states that Ghostery is licensed under the MPL 2.0 (with no mention of the EULA), and the other listings don't comment on licensing. Additionally, Ghostery offers direct downloads of their browser extensions through their GitHub releases page. That page is linked to their repository, which mentions only the MPL 2.0 and not the EULA.

Altogether, since the EULA appears to be unused while the MPL 2.0 licensing is prominently displayed, both Ghostery's source code and binaries appear to be free and open-source software licensed under the MPL 2.0. —  Newslinger  talk   07:35, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
