As a non-programing *user* I disagree, basically I don't care whether
the licence is GPL, LGPL, MPL, MPLv2, CDDL, QHYT, ZHYT or even
RobsLittleLicence. All I need to know is that it is OSI approved and I
find it useful.
Maybe one day if I ever become a programmer (I doubt it) I will be
concerned if I can take this snippet of code and use it in another
project but as just a user it doesn't bother me that much which licence
it uses.
