[License-discuss] Strong and weak copyleft

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Gervase Markham (gerv at mozilla.org):

> the "strong" copyleft of the GPL.

This matches my understanding of the term, FWIW.  My recollection is
that MPL is the canonical example about which the term was coined.

Rick Moen        Embarrassed!  Wait--humiliated.  Repentant.  Chagrined!  Sh*t!
