While I haven't read the MCP in a while, and SFLC's caveats apply, if
you take it at face value it is a *very* different sort of coverage
than OIN.

OIN is 'if they shoot first, we'll take them down with us, so they
probably won't shoot first.' MCP at least purports to be an
enforceable 'we won't shoot' promise. The second is certainly a better
and substantially different situation to be in, if one can take it at
face value.
