Source disclosureAttribution
If you only use it at build time, the answer changes.
MPL-2.0 appears as a dev dependency, so it is not part of the artifact you ship. Distribution-triggered obligations do not arise. Tools that emit code into your output, such as code generators, are a separate case worth checking individually.
File-level weak copyleft. Modifications to MPL-licensed files must be released under MPL, but your own files in the same project are unaffected. This makes it unusually easy to combine with proprietary code.

Check your whole manifest →The license was read from crates.io, then evaluated against each shipping model. Dependencies in this ecosystem are linked statically, which is assumed here. Only the declared license is considered; code copied into a project's own source files is not detected by this method.
