Please relicense the Firefox Plugin WebDAV Launcher to Confluence license

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      I initially raised a support request here: https://support.atlassian.com/browse/CSP-51135 where I was told that even though the Firefox Plugin that Benryan initially developed was now the property of Atlassian, because it still contains the following license in the source I cannot modify it internally to work better in our environment.
      We have Confluence tightly integrated with our portal and would prefer to remove the extraneous warning message when open docs from our Confluence instance. Do do this will require modifying the source of the plugin.

      What I'm after is this text being removed from all the files included in the Firefox plugin. Replace it with the standard Confluence licensing?
