That doesn't mean XUL isn't Mozilla based. Just like PDF is Adobe
based, even though there are several readers. A quote from a XUL intro
from Mozilla:

  Mozilla has configurable, downloadable chrome, meaning that the
  arrangement and even presence or absence of controls in the main
  window is not hardwired into the application, but loaded from a
  separate UI description. In fact, most of Mozilla's windows (and
  dialogs) will be described using this mechanism. XUL (pronounced
  "zuul," as if that spelling helped any, and short for "XML-based
  User Interface Language") is our name for the language in which
  these UI descriptions are built.

Veeery Mozilla-based. Not necessarily a bad thing, of course, but not
a thing to deny.
