"Put simply, I believe that technology gives us all superpowers, and that every person should be empowered as much as possible. Developers should be able to build any application they can imagine, and we should all be able to use these applications, without restrictions."
- Ryan Pollock<p>I love this sentiment! Unfortunately, Mozilla absolutely disagrees this BSD/MIT license sentiment. Instead Mozilla's MPL 2.0 license makes a broad (hardware and software) patent-grab underlined with a "retaliation clause." So few companies will be "empowered" by this license, they'll have to avoid it like the plague. History shows they'll remake the software all over again, only under a truly permissive software license. An ungodly waste.
