Going with MPL only is IMHO a bad idea. The idea of choosing MPL was to allow ppl to contribute code to SharpOS right? And to write NOT open source code that works with SharpOS (e.g. drivers), that therefore helps the project? But that is what LGPL does as well.
On the other side MPL allows everyone to just rip off the code, and use it in other contexts without even giving anything back to the SharpOS project and the open source community and that is for me not acceptable. My suggestion would be to choose GPL and/or LGPL and assign the copyright to the SharpOS team as the AOT already does. That gives the team/board the right to sell the code, to help the project and the buyer is not bound by GPL. Chriss.
