Right, that sounds a lot better than GPL then. I prefer a license that wouldn't turn off people or businesses, yet is open, and doesn't get us sued.. MPL sounds good to me so far.. I know about the viral nature of GPL, like Chad mentioned, and i definitely wouldn't want to use it. Chad, why would certain parts need to be GPL'ed? Right now i don't see why we would have to?
