The MPLv2 has many advantages and some weaknesses, as do all licenses
depending of course on what you want to achieve. Having said that,
personally I believe it is a great choice for LibreOffice and what TDF
want to achieve. Some fairly large chunks of MPL code are also
distributed with the AOO binaries, it is a 'category-b license' in their
nomenclature.
Either way - I don't believe the framing of your question is that
helpful, or takes account of the balance of contribution & momentum on
the ground. As such, I don't think this is likely to be a terribly
productive interaction no matter what some subset of user comments on
web news threads say today.
All the best,
Michael.
