GPL would prohibit releases under a different license; IIRC, parts are LGPL, others are MPL.
GPL does not prohibit releases under different licenses, only copyright does, but if you hold the copyright to the code you can release it under any license you like like mysql its both gpl and commerically licensed.
Parts don't have individual licenses the whole thing is tri licensed.
True, in a pedantic way; what I was referring to is contributions to the GPLed source, presumably themselves licensed GPL only, could not then be distributed under another license. Should have been more precise...
You may be right here; I was remembering from the old days of Mozilla, not Firefox; maybe I shouldn't post contradictions at 0100.
Still, if anyone has references close to hand regarding FF licenses, they'd be welcome.

yep contributors code can't just be taken, but in mysqls case contributors to have their code accepted must agree to give them rights to the code Mozilla probably does things a similar way.
One legitimate reason to prohibit background apps is the fact that the battery on the iPhone sucks. A single running background app doing a small amount of processing every 5 minutes drained the battery in 4 hours. The only way to not incur this penalty is to immediately sleep the phone after doing work and use a wake up alarm to schedule the next activity.

Most heavy lifting phones are in the same boat, even my blackberry battery life was severely hampered (read: halved) by running AIM in the background.
The ones that do ok running for 2 days are usually 200mhz omaps. Wireless data is fairly expensive battery wise... I've found that using Wifi resulted on longer browse times on my iPhone. If I just do a few phone calls, check email and browse for a few hours the phone goes 2 days. As soon as I browse via EDGE it dies in 1 day.
