No offense taken.
It's important for a project to have a fitting license.
I chose MPLv2 because I like the code to be free like BSD, for it
to be able to be located in all sorts of project, but I still
want the code to remain open source.
I will maybe change the license in the future, if needed.
But currently I don't see a reason to do it.
