  I'd like to present a new license. It's the "Kermit Public License". 
The terms are identical with the MPL 1.1, the only difference being that 
only Kermit can update the license. That's already the definition of the 
license.

I have used that in some source code in the past. I'd like mozilla.org 
to approve this as license allowed to Mozilla source code.

Note: The KPL is not to be confused with the C-Kermit license 
<http://gentoo.kems.net/gentoo-portage/licenses/Kermit>.
