Relay is very cool but it took me like 24 hours since discovering and adopting it, to being unable to use it for an account. So I cannot recommend it to my family and friends who are much less tech literate than I am. In my case I was trying to create an account on the Linux Mint Forums [1]. The confirmation email never arrived, which was very confusing to me.

Howdy. I'm the tech lead on Relay. We're working on replies right now: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay/pull/770

package.json lists it as MPL at least: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay/blob/18d491db346... Hopefully they make it clearer

Cool, the source is available: https://github.com/mozilla/fx-private-relay Edit: I've previously claimed it to be open source. But there's no License currently that would indicate that.
