Those requirements just say that in addition to including the MPL2 license text, we also have to include a notice saying where the source code is available, i.e. the package would have to somewhere include a link to eigen.org. https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/FAQ.html#distribute-my-binaries I'm not sure why this would be a problem. -n -- Nathaniel J.
