My own take is that license choice is often thought of as a social signal -- it's a way of telling a community "hey, ____, we're like you!" (and implicitly: "come play with us!"). Many projects at Mozilla are part of Mozilla but also align with other cultural movements -- web devs, django devs, JS devs, etc. Given that there's no doubt in anyone's mind that those projects _are_ Mozilla projects, it's not surprising that a signal to those communities is valued. As to your second question, I do think that for many of our codebases, I don't think it matters much either way. --da _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
