+<p>This is a free software license.  Section 3.3 provides indirect
+compatibility between this license and the GNU GPL version 2.0, the
+GNU LGPL version 2.1, the GNU AGPL version 3.0, and all later versions
+of those licenses.  When you receive work under the MPL version 2.0,
+you may make a &ldquo;Larger Work&rdquo; that combines that work with
+work under one of those GNU licenses.  When you do, section 3.3 gives
+you permission to distribute the MPL-covered work under the terms of
+that same GNU license, with one condition: you must make sure that the
+files that were originally under the MPL are still available under the
+MPL's terms as well.  In other words, when you make a combination this
+way, the files that were originally under the MPL will be dual
+licensed under the MPL and the GNU license.  The end result is that
+the Larger Work, as a whole, will be covered under the GNU license.
+People who receive that combination from you will have the option to
+use any files that were originally covered by the MPL under that
+license's terms, or distribute the Larger Work in whole or in part
+under the terms of the GNU license with no further restrictions.</p>
+
+<p>It's important to understand that the condition to distribute files
+under the MPL's terms only applies to the party that first creates and
+distributes the Larger Work.  If it applied to their recipients as well, it
+would be a further restriction and incompatible with the GNU licenses.
+That said, when you make contributions to an existing project, we usually
+<a href="/licenses/license-recommendations.html#contributing">recommend that 
you keep your changes under the same license</a>,
+even when you're not required to do so.  If you receive a work under a GNU
+license where some files are also under the MPL, you should only remove the
+MPL from those files when there's a strong reason to justify it.</p>
+
+<p>Check the license notices on the MPL-covered software before you make
+a Larger Work this way.  Parties who release original work under the
+MPL version 2.0 may choose to opt out of this compatibility by
+including a sentence in the license notices that says that the work is
+&ldquo;Incompatible With Secondary Licenses.&rdquo; Any software that
+includes this notice is <strong>not</strong> compatible with the GPL
+or AGPL.</p>
+
+<p>Software under previous versions of the MPL can be upgraded to version
+2.0, but any software that isn't already available under one of the
+listed GNU licenses <strong>must</strong> be marked as Incompatible With 
Secondary
+Licenses.  This means that software that's only available under
+previous versions of the MPL is still incompatible with the GPL and AGPL.</p>
