MPL-Using Projects

This page contains two lists - MPLed projects, and GPLed projects using MPLed libraries.

MPLed Projects

This is a list of as many free software projects under the Mozilla Public License versions 1.0 or 1.1 as we can find.

Note that, for those projects whose License Steward is "Netscape Communications Corporation", the steward is now the Mozilla Foundation - Mozilla acquired these rights from Netscape when it was founded.

Only projects whose license steward is the Mozilla Foundation are directly relevant to the question of GPL compatibility in MPL 2, but we would like to make a list of all projects using MPL-like licenses, for completeness.

Compatibility Position

This column indicates whether the project, by action (such as dual licensing) or by (linked) mailing list discussion, has indicated a position on whether their code should be able to be used in LGPLed and GPLed projects. The options are: "in favour", "indifferent", "against" and "undecided".

GPLed projects using MPLed libraries

This is only legal with a GPL exception. However, projects without such an exception should still be added - the purpose of this list is not to go chasing people.
