The only thing I'd add is that in your acknowledgement of the mozilla/Netscape copyright that you also make it clear under which licence you are distributing the .so In other words, say you are using the MPL/NPL licence rather than the GPL. This is because the GPL does not recognise file boundaries and you want to exclude the possiblity that someone could claim your overall application was licenced in fact as GPL. Theoretically you could say the .so file was licenced under the LGPL, however, the clearest position is to use the original MPL/NPL licence. This means you can keep your own code/source etc under your own control. S
