Discussions

  • Java versus Tamarin
    • Discussion about possibility of implementing Java technology in Mozilla products.
    • A user writes that the licensing incompatibilities between GPL and MPL would prevent Java code to be added in Mozilla. The license would need to be compatible with all three MPL/GPL/LGPL (used by Tamarin) to be considered for Mozilla.
    • Frank Hecker writes: The possibility of having a GPL-only Mozilla code would cause problems such as people who want to distribute Mozilla based products with:
      • non-GPL compatible extensions
      • free proprietary extensions such as Flash player
      • using trademarks such as logos
