Oh no! Lets not go over this all again. Please read all the discussion that
has occurred before.
The owners of the source code have decided on to go open source, and they
want to guarantee that people will keep the source open. The MPL provides
that, BSD doesn't.
I personally would love to see the multiple license provisions of the MPL
enacted - it would be great for some people to be able to link parts of
Interbase into LGPL projects.
It would not allow LGPL licenced code included to be Interbase, though.
I do think it would be partically useful for the Client side tools to dual
licenced, because that would allow their direct linking into GNOME tools.

I came to this discussion late but how about a BSD style licence?
