So, what's required to get the Scriptaculous effects on the MochiKit
trunk? I just want to be sure that we're on track to get the effects
into some kind of release.

It'll be merged after the 1.3 release... so it's going to happen soon.

Will all of the code be under the regular Mochikit liscence. I've been
unable to use the main scriptulicious project in my project because
their liscence is too vauge. We are have mochikit approved and are
using it.

Their license is an MIT license, it's not vague at all.

Our company lawyer wouldn't let us it because of the liscence because
he said it was too vauge. I'm a programmer not a lawyer.

Will the scriptalicious port be under the same liscence as the rest of
Mochikit or will it be dual liscenced?

Your company's lawyer is lazy or just bad at what he does. Tell him
to do his job and read the license! It's word for word identical to
any other MIT license aside from the year and copyright holders.

Yes, but some of it is still going to be a derivative work of
scriptaculous (though I can't imagine much actual code is left over
after reworking it).

For what is the defacto official text, for comparison:
