Subject: [LibX] MPL and local edition code
Message-ID: <C7160789.3C95%varnum@umich.edu>

It's been pointed out to me that the terms of the Mozilla Public License under which LibX is distributed require that local editions - or any code with binary distribution -- requires that the code modifications be made available (Section 3.2. of the MPL version 1.1).  Is there a way to link to the code itself on the LibX site to stay in compliance with the MPL?  Or is this not needed?

I'd much rather discuss how we could integrate any improvements into LibX
than the technicalities of the MPL license.  Perhaps you could post a patch
for perusal?  That would also make the code modifications available.

I guess the question is, to stay in compliance with MPL, do we need to have downloadable code for the specific configuration for our edition - or are the changes we make simply to configuration files that have no effect on the open-source code?  (We haven't made changes to the core code, to my knowledge.)

I would presume that technically, the configuration files you're building
are owned by you. At least according to the default behavior in copyright
law, which says that when you create something, you own the copyright.

We could, but haven't, specified anything else with respect to these files.
Our intent, obviously, is for no one to enforce any copyright on the
configuration files. We would, if someone did that, probably revoke their
right to access our server or stipulate in the condition that files created
on our machine may not be restricted.

This has nothing to do with changes to the LibX code which the MPL under
which LibX is distributed covers, in my opinion.

If there are plans please keep in mind the Andorid OS also.   Many apps for 
the iPhone are already available for Android based phones.
