Revision as of 06:57, 10 February 2017
This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.
Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the Foundational Technology page.
This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.
