Could you provide a reference about this GPL/LGPL option? The copyright file I
found for Mozilla Firefox only references the MPL [1]:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefox_0.8-11/copyright
The copyright file for mozilla-browser indicates some source files are
tri-licensed under the MPL/GPL/LGPL, but others [2] are only licensed under the
MPL:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mozilla/mozilla_1.6-7/copyright
Can Debian distribute Mozilla as a whole under the GPL, given that some of the
files are only available under the MPL?
