Part of http://faif.us/cast/2014/aug/05/0x4B/ with Fontana and VanL concerned a desire for patent grant covering more than just contributor's contributions/in combination with work, or whole work at time of contributor's contributions (as I [mis]understand them, Apache2 and EPL do former, MPL2 and GPL3 latter).
MPL does the former - see section 2.3 c) in MPL 2 and 2.2 b) in MPL 1.1.
I was kind of hoping that I'd discover recent copyleft-next commits adding patent coverage beyond single work, but alas. Any in the pipeline? What are the possible scopes of coverage beyond single work?
Coverage beyond a single work is presumably a patent pool?
