Bug Description
In the wiki module, the files web/controllers
Legally, this doesnt work IMHO - MPL is not compatible with GPL, so the only way to distribute the module would be to split it into two independent parts, one with the MPL files and one with the others. To me, this doesn't make sense.
OTOH, both of the MPL files seems to be copyrighted by openerp (i. e., Tiny ERP) so if we just got a message here saying that openerp intends to relicense these files under the same GPLv3+ conditions as other parts of the product, there is no problem.
So: Does openerp intend to relicense web/controllers
Just to clarify: As I understand the situation, noone can distribute this module legally in one piece The possible exception is Openerp,SA which holds the copyright and is unlikely to sue itself. See e. g., http:// fedoraproject. org/wiki/ Licensing: Main, note that this is in no way Fedora specific.
