Maybe you should read what a derivative work is?

That are your personal issues. I doubt that you're 100% innocent and if you think that you'll have more success that way, do it that way. Back to the MPL: After taking a closer look i had to *ROFL* (and I think any lawyer will too) about _how_ you want to pseudo-put your code under the MPL. Maybe you should read the license and see what formal conditions have to be met? I dunno how you want to enforce _anybody_ to treat your code as non-GPL'ed. > thanks, > Markus Anyway, I don't have any personal interest in this issue (now I gave my $0.02) so I won't spend any further second on it (hint: my wastemail bin is big).
