Actually SISSL is quite different from Mozilla.  It uses some common
definitions which is why is appears similar at first, but it is much less
restrictive overall than the MPL.  There *is* a Sun Public License modeled
after the NPL, pretty much s/Netscape/Sun/, which Netbeans was released
under (www.netbeans.org).

SISSL has been submitted to OSI for approval and is being considered.
