So it should be open source, right?

Wasn't able to find anything on their website.

Gecko is MPL - so can be mixed with proprietary code.

Yes, all the parts that are MPL licensed (the vast majority of the browser, minus their frontend) need to have their source code released. As far as I can tell, they are currently violating the license.

EDIT: Found the source code release here, so they are fine: https://polybrowser.com/faqs/where-can-i-download-the-source...
