Calling it the MMPLv2 misrepresents the nature of the license.  \r\n\r\nAlso the section \"The User grants the Author all rights to any contribution.\"  Is this a copyright assignment clause?  Or simply that any contibutions are implicitly licensed perpetually to the author?  The fact that it later mentions a CLA implies the latter to be the case.   This should be explicitly clear.  \r\n\r\nThe section on derivates also is unclear, should \"The Derivative complies with the Mod license.\" be taken to mean that the derivativs must also be licensed under the same terms?  Or does the mean something else?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jakimfett/MMPLv2/issues/comments/156655314","html_url":"https://github.com/jakimfett/MMPLv2/issues/28#issuecomment-156655314","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jakimfett/MMPLv2/issues/28","id":156655314,"user":{"login":"coolsquid","id":9624459,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9624459?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid","html_url":"https://github.com/coolsquid","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/coolsquid/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-14T06:44:20Z","updated_at":"2015-11-14T06:44:20Z","body":"@projectilemotion It seems to me like this license might not be intended for you. That does not, however, mean that it is a bad license. If you want want your freedoms, I suggest you make use of the MIT license or another applicable license. And remember, that for the right holders, not using a license and thereby not granting any rights is far easier than finding and applying an applicable license. Be happy about the rights you get, nobody has to give you any."}}
