Mozilla Public License (MPL) Version 2.0 FAQ
- Nomentatus 9y agoHighly disingenuous - it doesn't even mention the patent grab. Yet the same move is precisely what has gotten Facebook into so much controversy re the React BSD plus patents license. "5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate." http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Mozilla_Public_License http://en.swpat.org/wiki/Mozilla_Public_License
- Nomentatus 9y agoI love Mozilla. I rue this kind of clause which has been so destructive, causing so much rewriting to get to another license.
