NSPR and XPCOM are already released under GPL, NPL and MPL with terms that you can pick the one you want. I doubt that the Mozilla lawyers are going to deal with also releasing it under the Apache license until there is real chance that it will be adopted. After rereading MPL and the Apache license I can't even see a significant difference expect that MPL stops people from contributing code containing submarine patents (like Unisys and GIF). Apache and MPL are both open source, non-viral, royalty free, commercially redistributable licenses. I find it disappointing that a large piece of excellently code (NSPR and XPCOM) could be ignored because of religion over which open source license is the best. Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
