it doesn't contain Stallman's rabid anti-business philosophy.

Maybe, but most "open source" is based on Stallman's license, to the tune of 75 percent or so I'm sure you know.

It is the oldest. But the amount of software under the MPL is growing fast. It helps that the MPL is much more detailed on various copyright and patent issues, something that Stallman is trying to put into the GPL 3 that even Linus is currently trashing.
