We have added MPL because it is considered to be better suited for corporate implementations, as it allows a more flexible integration into proprietary environments (while preserving is copyleft nature). For instance, MPL would allow LibreOffice to be in the Apple Store, while LGPLv3 would not. LGPLv3 is the original OpenOffice license, inherited from the code base, and cannot be modified. > * Our download page states the following in the footer: "This does not > include the source code of LibreOffice, which is licensed under the GNU > Lesser General Public License (LGPLv3)." Should this be updated? In due time, once we will have re-licensed the entire code base. > * I imagine that the first part of the footer: "Copyright information: > Unless otherwise specified, all text and images on this website are > licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 > License." does not need updating.
