[Freeswitch-users] MPL in simple terms

[Michal Bielicki]

 > Is there a simple explanation, in terms that a mere software  
engineer can understand, what the MPL license means?

You can use the code for whatever purpose you want, as long as you  
give all changes you make to that code back to the project basically.

 > 1)      Can I sell FS under my own guarantee and support?

Yes and yes

 > 2)      If I write code that connects FS to an external application  
that I have written, does the external application have to be MPL as  
well?

No it can be whatever License you want. Of course you have to check if  
the license you choose to give to your application has a problem with  
that ;)

 > 3)      Extension to previous question:  What if the external  
application is Active Directory?

And ?
