Please don't :) As noted in the other thread, we do hope to have MPL 2
ready soon, but it really shouldn't be used in the meantime.

Hi, Alexis-
My personal (not Mozilla, not my current employer) take on this is
that this is primarily a reflection of the shift in free software
towards web apps, where the GPL doesn't have a huge effect, rather
than a movement against strong copyleft per se.

That said, I do think there is a big space in the world for a more
predictable/reliable copyleft and I hope MPL fills that role, perhaps
some day with a web services equivalent as well (though obviously that
would be some ways out.)
