Legacy is supposed to be "bugfixes only" - no? (If everything is just

Its far from a black and white thing. In some cases, upgrading to the next release is much more reasonable compared to the amount of work you do in maintaining a older codebase with heavy number of backports.

I can agree with that. However, it is my understanding that what truly
makes up the software, the code, is still "free".

It's not; you cannot modify it.

Of course you can. Nobody would be able to fork it if it wasnt Free software. The mozilla codebase is trilicensed under GPL/LGPL/MPL where all there of them are Free software licenses. The current issues are related to trademarks and not copyright licenses.
