Whoever wrote that is wrong, in that no-one in this group has offered to 
support or give advice on the SPL. I haven't even read it very closely, 
and I normally answer most of the questions. It uses most of the same 
text, but I would have no idea if the differences were relevant to your 
question or not.

As I understand it, Sun went off and made the SPL without consulting 
mozilla.org. Given that, asking us to support their licence is a bit rich.
