Create new license or use MPL?

[Rod Dixon]

Despite the length of your question, it is fairly vague. You may want to
post the draft of the license with an explanation.

> Hi people,

> Following the discussion about modified licenses and
> the desire to keep the number of licenses as little
> as possible, I have the following question.
>
> I'm working on a website project. My work involves
> Java, HTML, and plain content. I would like a license
> that covers all 3 types of work, or "material". The
> spirit of the license should be like the MPL, which I
> think is a very nice license. But the MPL speaks of
> code in particular as "material", not of any kind of
> material. So I'm not sure whether I could use the MPL
> for my work. Or can I? Will it cover all of my work,
> including the plain content? Currently, I have written
> a new license, which is essentially a copy of the MPL,
> in which I replaced all such terms as "Covered Code"
> by "Covered Material". Is this better or does this
> nothing but increase the nr of licenses out there?
>
> If it's the latter, then I'm dumping my license.
