Dear all, I am particularly interested in the MPL license for future projects, be it by applying the sole MPL or by applying a multi-licenses combo. I have searched a bit about using the MPL in non-Mozilla projects, but there are surprisingly not that many related informations... 1. Is the MPL a reusable license, or is its wording very tied to the Mozilla project? The CDDL was apprently created by Sun to be a reusable MPL-derivative, but I cannot clearly see how much this is accurate or not. 2. The license is bound by the laws of California (section 11), so how about projects started in non-US countries? 3. Does the Mozilla Foundation intend to promote its licensing model to other projects? I personnaly think that you should do that as the MPL is an excellent "middle-ground" license between the BSD/MIT/Apache and GPL licenses. In a way Apache did just that with the ASL v2. Thank you very much for your help :-) Cheers -- Julien Ponge
