As Luis's message shows, I was reading MPL-2.0 incorrectly. Defensive
termination is triggered by patent assertions but terminates copyright
as well as patent license grants. (That would seem to be true of GPLv3
as well, unless copyright claims are implicitly also a "further
restriction".) I think my reading of EPL-2.0 was correct.
