The MMPLv1 has a few nasty holes (one of them being very nasty and arguably making the license invalid to begin with) and is incompatible with a lot of other FOSS licenses due to at least the \"legal copy of Minecraft\" clause.\r\n\r\nSince one of our primary contributors' request was to choose a \"copyleft license with minimum lawyerspeak\", excluding the MIT and the LGPL both, I vote for the **[Mozilla Public License 2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/)**, used by Mozilla for their own projects as well as many other developers who are not okay with the *GPL's high level of protection.\r\n\r\n**PERMISSIONS NEEDED - PART 1:**\r\n\r\nSpaceToad (will contact him separately)\r\n@CovertJaguar \r\n@SirSengir \r\n@Flow86 \r\n@psxlover\r\n@AEnterprise \r\n@Soaryn \r\n@TXX59 \r\n@gishicrafter\r\n@AmilcarM11\r\n@RufusStark \r\n\r\n**[continued below]**\r\n\r\nIf you're fairly sure you contributed to BC but are not listed above (the list is incomplete as I will be going through the list to ensure contributions no longer used are not listed, as I am only relicensing the latest BuildCraft versions - 7.0.22 and 7.1.2 and above), answer as well!

It's not like a different license will change anything.\r\nAnyway it's fine by me as long as it stays open and free.\r\nKeep in mind that before git, buildcraft was developed in svn, so there may be contributors that don't appear in github (although I doubt it was more than a handful, the project was moved shortly after Spacetoad gave it to SirSengir)."}}
