[zeromq-dev] License status update?

[Derek]

     Hello!
Regarding this from http://zeromq.org/area:licensing


    Intent to Move to MPL v2

It is the intention of the ZeroMQ community to move gradually towards 
the Mozilla Public License v2, as a replacement for the current LGPLv3 + 
static link exception.

MPLv2 offers largely the same advantages as our custom LGPLv3 + static 
link exception license, with the added advantage of being a standard 
license, thus easier for corporate lawyers to accept.

MPLv2 is the recommended license for new ZeroMQ projects, and where 
possible, ZeroMQ projects should collect approval from contributors to 
move towards MPLv2.




The last sentence there is unclear to me:

"MPLv2 is the recommended license for new ZeroMQ projects..."  Does that 
mean I am licensed to use ZeroMQ under MPLv2?  GitHub still only shows 
LGPLv3 + static link exception.

"ZeroMQ projects should collect approval from contributors to move 
towards MPLv2"  This sounds like it is not yet available under MPLv2.


I am considering a project where MPLv2 would be acceptable but GPLv3 may 
not be.  Is there any schedule or drive towards an MPLv2 license?


Thank You,
Derek
