Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-2158:
----------------------------------------

Yes, I know. My only concern is that normally you can't have a software under 
incompatible licences and [MPL and GPL are 
incompatible|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility#GPL_compatibility].
We can ignore it as it's licenced under MPL. But if at a moment the authors 
want to change, or are constrained to change because of this incompatibility, 
and choice the GPL or LGPL we will be blocked.

Note though that the [Mozilla suite is licenced in the same 
terms|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Public_License#Compatibility_with_GPL],
 but it's not the same problem as us who must look from an ASL2 POV.

Anyway for the moment it's ok (since XUI was in the same situation ;o)

Note also that it's me we [asked Luan 
O'Carrol|http://www.nabble.com/XUI-is-dead-td18160214.html#a18160214] to put 
ARIA also under MPL, before it was only under GPL/LGPL. But they kept GPL/LPGL 
and obviously gave up to try Apache incubator.

> [Licences|http://www.formaria.org/licensing] Weird becasue I guess MPL is

> Note that we don't need to do that right now, just to keep it in mind...
