Anything checked into the tree without additional disclaimer is presumptively under MPL. If that's not true then it's a mess for mozilla.org to clean up, not something a developer should have to worry about. The only possible exceptions might be images of the lizard itself where trademark issues might conflict, but that doesn't seem to be what Jesper is asking for. And if in fact we know that those images are problematic then mozilla.org appears to be violating section 3.4 by not mentioning this fact in the LEGAL file. (Section 3.5 suggests that without something like a README containing an "Exhibit A" in each directory with images they technically may not be under the MPL. If that's the case no one but their creator has permission to copy them making Mozilla distributions illegal. Another thing that needs to get straightened out.) Jesper's app will of course have to follow the MPL rules for notification and 'source' (such as it is for images) availability, etc. -Dan Veditz >>Jesper S�rensen wrote: >> >>>I'm wondering if I could use some of the Mozilla icons for an e-mail >>>application I'm developing?
