Hi all, Inside Tcl, some files have a different license. For example, libtommath uses the libtommath licence, compat/dlfcn.h also has a slightly different license. Inside wish, x11/*.h also has a slightly different license. In order to fix bug [a8e4f76ce4] "load library (dll) from zipfs-library causes a leak in temporary folder" I found a useful library, which is under the MPL license, which is - also - very similar to the BSD license. Question: can we approve the MPL license to be used in separate source-files within Tcl? The exact text can be found here: <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/> 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software ... My conclusion is that - as long as the files MemoryModule.h and MemoryModule.c are kept under the MPL and fulfill the restrictions of this license (which they do), this doesn't impose any restrictions on the rest of the software.
