My objection to the MPL is that it's unreadable for me. The sentences
are too complicated and long. The LGPL is quite well readable (for a
legal text anyway, IMHO).

Hi,
I finally found a website that describes the licenses in plain English
which is easy to understand. I always struggle to understand the
different licenses and how to decide on a license for my software I
develop.
Hope others will find the link useful.

Don't make the common fault about OSS. Not users are important but
developers. And (L)GPL is much more developer friendly. Further, most
big OSS projects I know being completly "hobbyist" driven are (L)
Okay, maybe I posted this question in the wrong mailing list or I left
out a vital part in my post. ;-)
I didn't mean for a change in FPC's licensing! I was referring to my
own projects and also the possibility of including that code in FPC or
Lazarus (only shipping with, not compiled in).

BTW, changing the subject doesn't start a new thread (for threaded

Don't use reply to start a thread, use new (new creates a new thread,

Let's not open a can of worms here, the truth is we can't change the
license anyhow, there are too many pieces by too many contributors who
would have to agree with the change in the first place.
IMHO point the people who need more info to FAQ and be done with it.

Hi,
In August I asked a similar question (LGPL vs BSD) and got a lengthy
discussion going, which helped me a lot in understanding the
difference.
Now, what is the difference between the Modified LGPL (as used in FPC
and Lazarus) compared to MPL.
Don't they really mean the same thing.
