Could you provide a reference about this GPL/LGPL option? The copyright file I found for Mozilla Firefox only references the MPL [1]: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox_0.8-11/copyright The copyright file for mozilla-browser indicates some source files are tri-licensed under the MPL/GPL/LGPL, but others [2] are only licensed under the MPL: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mozilla/mozilla_1.6-7/copyright Can Debian distribute Mozilla as a whole under the GPL, given that some of the files are only available under the MPL? -Jim FSF license list 1. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html Mozilla Relicensing FAQ 2. http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/relicensing-faq.html#not-yet-relicensed package copyright files: --------------------------------------------- http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mozilla/mozilla_1.6-7/copyright This is Mozilla, source can be retrieved from mozilla.org by either FTP or HTTP http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla<version>/src/ ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla<version>/src/ Currently maintained by Takuo KITAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some files in this source package are under the Netscape Public License Others, under the Mozilla Public license, and just to confuse you even more, some are dual licensed MPL/GPL.
