[DotGNU]New Mozilla Licensing terms?

Many moons ago, I remember a question of whether we are limitted to
supporting browsers through plugins/Active-X or whether we could in fact
hack the code, of say Mozilla, to support DotGNU? I believe the comment
was never answered or was answered on the basis of license
incompatibilities. This second possibility (my memory is bad on what the
answer was) may now be a moot point?

Mozilla is to be relicensed under the NPL + GPL/LGPL. This opens up the
code for closer integration with DotGNU, does it not? Instedad of
looking to add code at the public level, we can add code at the patch
level.

Perhaps, if done carefully we could create a reasonable DotGNU client
from a fork of the mozy codebase? I seem to remember a project on Mozdev
that allowed arbitrary protocols to be added and supported by Mozy;
perhaps this is where we could add RLS: support?
