Yes, the MPL is like a weak copyleft license (that means changes to the code must be released under the MPL, which requires source disclosure). But proprietary code that is licensed differently may still be combined with MPL code with no effects. The more I think about it, the more I think the MPL might be the licensing sweet spot imho. > Personally, to be honest, i don't care too much about the license, as > long as it's both open and not too limiting to people outside the > 'sharpos community' I think the MPL might be good for that. > On 8/31/07, William Lahti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > As long as people see the issue is on the table and will be acted on in a > > > reasonable time, I think that will satisfy all concerned. > > > > Sure.
