Can we get a public statement from Mozilla describing its deal with Pocket?
I see a comment below from a Mozilla employee stating that "there is limited public information available about this deal", and claiming that the best quote is in an article that contains a paraphrase from an email from another Mozilla employee saying that Pocket didn't pay for placement.
When a non-profit gives prominent placement to a for-profit company, there are many ways for money to change hands beyond straight up payment for placement. I think we are owed a clear explanation of the Mozilla-Pocket deal.

I've been pleading internally for an official public response. Nothing.
The only other source I've seen is an email reply from Mark Mayo at http://www.planet-libre.org/?post_id=18514
Also, anyone implementing a compatible backend can switch to it by changing a pref.
