The official text version of the MPL adds

  • emphasis *

to Sections 6 and 7, to avoid the use of ALL CAPS. (rationale)

I'm not quite sure how best to capture this in the OSI repo - thoughts?

I'm not a maintainer (so take my thoughts for what they're worth), but PRs have been made (and accepted) in the past to replace the texts/plain/* files with canonical upstream texts, so simply replacing texts/plain/MPL-2.0 with the canonical upstream plain-text version might be met favorably. 😄

Ah! I thought about that, but given the different formatting otherwise I wasn't sure.

Replace with official version
dd3a03f 
Official version of the MPL plain* text is [here](https://www.mozilla.org/media/MPL/2.0/index.txt). This commit replaces the OSI version with the official text.

*plain-ish; it was generated from the canonical markdown with pandoc (which creates some indentation, section headings, etc.) and then hand-edited to EMPHASIZE Sections 6 and 7, as mentioned in issue OpenSourceOrg#45.
