Hello, 

I asked in another group but this is probably a better place.  What is
the intended license of the mfcembed program?  In mfcembed.cpp I see this:

 * Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
 * copy of this Mozilla sample software and associated documentation files
 * (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including
 * without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,

 * persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the
 * following conditions:

 * in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

 * LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
 * FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER
 * DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

In other words, a standard MIT license.  But some other files in the
same directory, even files written by the same person, look like this:

 * Version: NPL 1.1/GPL 2.0/LGPL 2.1
 *

So, which goes?  The MIT license is far less restrictive than even the
LGPL and I think this may be what the authors intended... but the
current situation (in my 1.2.1 tree) is a bit unclear.  Any clues?
