Sorry. This should have gone to legal discuss (I always forget to check
the address when I reply to this list!).

OK. I don't really have any complaint about the policy, only its effect
on Cocoon. Currently, Cocoon uses Mozilla Rhino for its flowscript
support (NPL 1.1), which has become a best practice and recommended way
of developing web sites. When this policy was first proposed some
discussion followed on the PMC list and the basic response seems to be
to do nothing for 6 months and hope for the best. Should this policy
actually be enforced many Cocoon user's will be negatively impacted if
the support has to be removed. By the way, this is not an optional feature.

A bit of a side-note - I need to send the link to the 3rd party draft to
the Rhino guys. Had talked with one of their committers previously about
the reasons they'd not moved to MPL. Will followup to this email a
later with those reasons (not on a great network at the moment).
