As long as they don't make it an opportunity to get hostile to the Dash/Zeal docsets generated by scraping MDN. If they do, we'll have... issues.

Well, considering they advocate for an "ethical" web (against [too much] spyware, etc) I'd actually expect them to be against over dependence on the web too.
