My http://zooko.com/ license_quick_ref.html currently lists "permissive, GPL, LGPL, and MozillaPL". "Permissive" means MIT/old-X/new-BSD/etc. I would be happy to remove MozillaPL from my list since (if you you constrain your considerations to only these five columns) it is overshadowed by LGPL. However, MozillaPL seems to be liked by a fair number of people, or at least it was a couple of years ago when the open-sourcing of Mozilla was new and exciting.

Well even Mozilla no longer uses the MPL, because they found it did not meet their needs. More accurately, they dual-license MPL/LGPL/GPL. See the Mozilla relicensing FAQ.
