Open Source OSI-Approved CopyLeft

Summary Full Text

MPL is a copyleft license that is easy to comply with. You

must make the source code for any of your changes available
under MPL, but you can combine the MPL software with
proprietary code, as long as you keep the MPL code in
separate files. Version 2.0 is, by default, compatible with LGPL
and GPL version 2 or greater. You can distribute binaries
under a proprietary license, as long as you make the source
available under MPL.
