Yeah. :-( Annoying is also that Rhino has not been relicenced, yet, based on a seemingly new licence policy: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/license-policy.html They seem to be allowed to relicence NPL as MPL. That would make the whole issue go away. Write to the Rhino people and ask them to do the right thing. > > I've just alerted the Cocoon project that they are wrongly listing Rhino > > as MPL.

Well, it's in draft but generally accepted by the Board.
