There's not really any differences bewteen Jon and I that would stop
us from working together. The problem is religion at the ASF, an
an apparently xenophobic bias there.
I'm in principle happy with the MPL and Jon is happy to use MPL'd
code. But the MPL is an American-only license, and all our attempts to
come up with a less American-centric license failed. The ASF won't
consider alterante licenses, and doesn't provide an approved MPL
style license that works outside the US.
The APL also doesn't work outside the US, but at least would be pretty
easy to fix. The MPL has all kinds of legal mumbo jumbo in it that isn't
sure to mean anything outside of America. It also refers to the State
of California, Santa Clara County, Federal Courts, etc.
Now I'm probably going to try and hack it to make it vaguely
Canadian, and use it, but it's not necessarily legally safe for me
to try and do that.
Isn't this dumb?
