Having taken in the various viewpoints, I suggest the next step is a concrete proposal. Here is one.
We should update the Mozilla License Policy[0]. On the particular topic of which license to choose for a new project, it should say: "New Mozilla-originated software projects may choose either the MPL 2.0 or the Apache License 2.0. No other license is acceptable. When integrating with, building on or relating to an existing codebase, the license of that codebase should be chosen. Otherwise, the licensing team recommends MPL 2.0 for client-side code, and either for server-side code. However, the decision should be taken on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the licensing team."
