I don't know what the MPL license is (and there are 2 versions 1.0 and 1.1
BTW) but I do know what the APL is
(http://opensource.org/licenses/apachepl.html) ! And it is fine ... And will
attract more persons to it. There is already someone on the Cactus mailing
list that may be willing to participate but he's already told me that he
does not like the MPL and asked me why we chose this "funny" license ! :-)
Also, it will help if Cactus is going to use the mockobjects jar one day to
provide MO style testing.

We need the agreement of all the persons who have written code for the
MockObjects project. I guess I have yours. I'm still missing Tim's (and Tim
can probably handle Connextra if they have participated). Anyone else we
should ask who may say no ?
