So, Mozilla lawyers have rewritten the MPL, forming an alpha of MPL 2.
And make no mistake, it's a rewrite.
It's not just Mozilla lawyers sitting in some backyard dark room, it's
all happening and being discussed in the public, see
mozilla.governance.mpl-update and https://mpl.co-ment.com/
Now, looking down the road, I expect that, just as in the past when
Mozilla switched from the dual license to the tri-license, there will
be a whole lotta letters and/or emails sent out asking past contributors
to agree to relicense past contributions under the new license.
As far as I know, the MPL v1.1 contains an "or later" rule that allows
any code licensed under it to be reused under any newer version of the
MPL, so no permission letters are needed for that.
IANAL, though, you better read up in the mpl-update group and ask the
actual lawyers dealing with this.
