Mozilla公共许可证

Mozilla公共许可证（简称MPL）是一个开放源代码的自由软件许可证。它是由美国在线的下属的網景通信子公司发布的，之後该许可证所有权被转让给Mozilla基金会。Mozilla基金会主要在Mozilla网页浏览器及其相关软件上使用该许可证。

[编辑] 来自自由软件基金会的评论

This is a free software license which is not a strong copyleft; unlike the X11 license, it has some complex restrictions that make it incompatible with the GNU GPL. That is, a module covered by the GPL and a module covered by the MPL cannot legally be linked together. We urge you not to use the MPL for this reason.

However, MPL 1.1 has a provision (section 13) that allows a program (or parts of it) to offer a choice of another license as well. If part of a program allows the GNU GPL as an alternate choice, or any other GPL-compatible license as an alternate choice, that part of the program has a GPL-compatible license.
