  • That’s not a loophole, it’s the purpose of the license. The MPL was made to make embedding an otherwise open-source codebase into a new (non-open) project doable. There used to be several commercial products that used the gecko web engine and other mozilla code, and mozilla code was generally provided under a dual (MPL/GPL) or triple (MPL/GPL/LGPL) license so that developers could choose.



  • True, but up till now we didn’t even know if a tidally locked planet around a red dwarf could even hold an atmosphere (since red dwarfs tend to have much more powerful x-ray flares, and planets sit much closer to them than our G-type sun). So the fact that this one does have lightweight Helium in the atmosphere would seem to significantly increase the odds that there’s life elsewhere, since red dwarfs are super common and if there’s 1 that can hold an atmosphere, odds are that there are many, many others.
