Forum OpenACS Q&A: Please help me to understand more about open source licences

Hello everyone
I would be appreciated if someone could explain a little bit more about open source licences. I am lost, as there are too many open sources licensing exist nowadays.
I know, I need to read the RTFM for the licences, but it's a bit too much for me, considering English is my second language.
I would like to know more about the Mozzilla Public license, since I am planning to use one OS package that granted the user with that license's definition.
My question is what's the pros and cons if I am using it?
Thank you in advance,
phamo
You'll have to be more specific in your questions. Can you tell more clearly what information you're looking for?

The Mozilla Public License is a free software license that gives certain extra privileges to the original entity releasing the code. It was created by Netscape when it released the Mozilla source code.

For you as a user it allows you to freely use the software, in both commercial and non-commercial settings. As per modification of code, you can do that, but I don't know all the particulars of that license.

There's good information at www.gnu.org and www.opensource.org.
