As the author also noted, the MPL is a rather rare license, tho I always ask myself why.

I use the MPL for most of my projects that aren't under MIT simply based on the fact that it feels like the GPL but without infecting any larger projects that want to use my code.

Or am I overlooking something as a IANAL?
