None --- please reread what I wrote above. What I am concerned about
is the herd mentality (Hurd mentality?) I perceive here. In particular,
I think it highly likely that at some point someone will claim that
all components in Mozilla are shipped under GPL. Not "GPL compatible",
but "GPL".
Basically I'm upset at the prospect that components with perfectly good
open-source licenses will be coerced into someone else's idea of a
better license, with or without their consent.
