from what I can see amongst the hype, it has nothing to do with Mozilla

Re: cometbird - mozilla's web browser

The CometBird develop page says they follow the source code license of Mozilla, yet they don't make any source code available, which is one of the requirements of the license, and is the general idea of open source.
The develop page then suggests that CometBird is just a re-branded Firefox (no source code changes) bundled with a bunch of add-ons.
