I think, BSD / MIT / Apache should be used for open source libraries, and MPL / GPL / AGPL for open source products. This way, a developer can build a new product using open source libraries without sharing its source code, but he cannot repackage an existing open source product without sharing its modifications.

Excellent suggestion, and with GPL for distributed products (installers, apks) and AGPL for cloud services.

Yes, this is usually how I handled it in my (very few) OSS projects.
