Yes. Why do you think it's under review? It's causing some

I wasn't aware it was under review.
The Apache foundation have also rumbled about naming here, IIRC.

Because part of the Mozilla Foundation's strategy to raise enough money
to employ people to work on the code involves leveraging the name. I
think this is great - because it's not a model which restricts the
freedom of the code. [...]
You wrote this, but you claimed that it stops the default search

No, at least not by my understanding of what makes code free (i.e. that
it's under a Free licence).
