Re: Using MPL inside BSD

[Mitchell Baker]

Good question.  maybe we can find someone to go through the list here 
and aggregate the questions into an FAQ which we oculd then review.  But 
even the FAQ won't be legal advice.  Legal advice is given by an 
attorney to a client, in the context of an attorney-client 
relationship.  The attorney-client relationship is governed by a set of 
professional rules set in place by the state bar associations, and 
compliance with them is mandatory for attorneys licensed in that 
jurisdicsion.  so legal advice is not something that is rarely provided 
anonymosuly, or in general, or without an examination of the specific 
facts of each case.

All that said, a license FAQ is long overdue.

The MPL is designed to allow a project to combine code from different
licenses.  So, if you have a file that has MPL code in it (including new
files in which you include some MPL code) those need to be available
under the MPL. Once you've done this, you are welcome to combine those
files with BSD licensed code (or even closed code if that's what you
want to do).
   

Thanks, that is clear enough.

 

As always, this isn't  legal advice.   You should engage a lawyer if you
want such advice.
   

I read dozens of similar posts on this group, and found that you are either
claming the upper statement, or apologize yourself for the lack of some FAQ
on the MPL subject.
When do you think that something like FAQ will be available, resolving few
of such items, without the need to hire a lawyer for a few simple use-cases?
