Public bug reported:

In the wiki module, the  files web/controllers/wiki.py and
web/widgets/wiki.py are distributed under MPL (Mozilla Public License)
conditions. Other files in the same module are distributed under GPLv3 +
and BSD.

Legally, this doesnt work IMHO - MPL is not compatible with GPL, so the
only way to distribute the module would be to split it into two
independent parts, one with the MPL files and one with the others. To
me, this doesn't make sense.

OTOH, both of the MPL files seems to be copyrighted by openerp (i. e.,
Tiny ERP) so if we just got a message here saying that openerp intends
to relicense these files under the same GPLv3+ conditions as other parts
of the product, there is no problem.

So: Does openerp intend to relicense web/controllers/wiki.py and
web/widgets/wiki.py under GPLv3+?
