==MPL 2 Upgrade FAQ==
====Where can I read about the new licence?====
You can read the <ahref="http://mpl.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/MPL-RC1-typography.html">>Release Candidate 1 text</a>(<a href="http://mpl.mozilla.org/participate/rc/">more formats</a>), and a <ahref="http://mpl.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Revision-FAQ-RC.html">FAQ</a> about the changes.
====Why is it better?====
However, we understand that Mozilla has a long history of allowing contributors to put their names in the files they touch, and even though Contributors was not designed as a "credit" mechanism, some people do perceive it that way.
Therefore, we propose that the script would preserve the Initial Developer and Contributors of each file in a Contributors list, which would be placed in a separate comment below the licensing information. People would continue to be able to add their names to the list if they chose. However, such a list would not count as a "licence notice" under section 3.4 of the MPL 2, and so would not be unalterableby downstream recipients.
====How do you spell "licence"?====
This FAQ was written by Gerv, a Brit, who spells the noun "licence" and the verb "license", except when he is referring to the official titles of licences written by Americans, such as the Mozilla Public License or the Apache License. Any deviations from this policy should be [mailto:gerv@mozilla.org reported].
