The use of a non standard license, and unclear, makes it impossible to contribute without having a law degree to understand it. Notable the "non commercial" clause is just too vague.

Please switch to a known license so at least things are clear.

I'd be happy to contribute, as well, if this was resolved.
FWIW, Macaw is one the more popular twitter clients for Firefox OS.

This is the first anyone has brought this up. I'd be happy to switch the
license. I'll do some research and change this.

The intent of that clause was simply that I don't want someone to put the
app in an app store and sell it without contributing anything.

Thanks for taking this into consideration! We certainly don't want to push anything

I've just pushed a change that switches the license to the MPL 2.0.
Please let me know if you still have concerns. I don't want a license
that discourages contributions.
