license merger defense?
"SPL is nothing more than a merger of two existing open source licenses: the Mozilla Public License and the Attribution Assurance License. "

If this is meant to defend SPL, it does a bad job. Merging two licenses to form a third license does not mean the child license follow the spirit of its parents. I could easily merge the bad points of both license together to form a worse license, if I want to.

On a personal viewpoint I will like to congratulate Mr Berlind for saying that open source license is about fairness, particularly given that this is the tone of recent events (Oracle Unbreakable Linux, Microsoft-Novell agreement).
