Because they are now owned by Mozilla. As stated above, I, like others, don't like the practice, and I hope Mozilla adjusts acordingly.

You understand why they changed those terms, right? Because Mozilla isn't reselling the data and the data can't go elsewhere.

Sure, but this doesn't mean much. If they didn't transfer ownership, FakeSpot could do whatever they wanted with that data. By forcing the transfer, Mozilla can choose to keep it private.
