It is and will be FOSS with an API that allows integration outside Firefox. The code is a combination of Mozilla Public License and Marian https://marian-nmt.github.io/ under MIT license, as well as software to be written. Follow our code on https://github.com/browsermt/ and https://github.com/marian-nmt/... .

I coordinate the Bergamot project.

Effective immediately, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property from Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves. Instead, we will refer the matter to law enforcement if further action is required.

One narrow circumstance that probably won't happen again. In all other circumstances they can read the customer's private content?
