Nice, but I wonder if they plan to switch to GPL, or stay with MPL. No mention of that on the website.

They probably won’t GPL it, since that’ll make the fork even less appealing to companies.

(Not a legal advice) AFAIK, they can’t. If you want to switch a license you have to get consent of all contributors or (in case of CLA shit) consent of the owner of the code

The MPL allows for it as far as I can tell, its just fairly complicated since the MPL would still apply at the file-level for all existing files.
