264877 - about:mozilla needs updating? (source references NPL, not MPL/LGPL/GPL tri-license)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 236613

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041015 Firefox/0.10.1

about:mozilla mentions the Netscape Public License in the page source. Should
this be changed to the Mozilla Public License?

I presume 7:15 will be changed to whatever the 1.0 release date is (11:18?).

Also it mentions a "great bird". Does this refer to Firebird? In which case it
should be changed to reflect the new name.
That said a "great fox" doesn't have the same ring to it. Quite ironic for UK
users considering there's currently so much controversy over fox hunting.

see bug 233499

What about the mention of the (now defunct?) NPL and the date, they're not
covered by that bug.

Attachment: Book of Mozilla 11:18

How is this for a new entry in the "Book of Mozilla"?

Comment 4

[Richard Klein]

asking for 1.0 blocking, and can anyone confirm?

Comment 5

[David Janes]

I don't know if the text should be changed, bug 233499 suggested that the
current text is here to stay.

The date and NPL should be sorted out though.

The "WONTFIX" part, for bug 233499 is definant, it'll be repoened someday if
someone decides to update it. It's something like... a name change isn't
important, Firefox is still the same thing.

Anyways, this is a general mozilla bug, not firefox specific. I'm not sure where
to file it though... Anyways, updating the description so it becomes a
MPL/LGPL/GPL tri-license reference, and marking as new, that is a bug :)

Bug 236613 is about relicensing. The files in mozilla/browser and
mozilla/toolkit will be relicensed after the aviary branch has been merged to
the trunk.

There are quite a lot of files on the branch still mentioning the NPL:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/search?string=Netscape+Public+License

Not a blocker.

And is the date going to be changed to 11:18, or whatever the release date will be?
