Section 2.3 a) of the MPL 2.0MPL 2.0 States:

no patent license is granted by a Contributor: (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software

  1. What does code a contributor has "removed from Covered Software" mean? Does it pertain to retracting code the Contributor made available using the MPL 2.0 license?

  2. This whole section is hard to follow for me but I'm curious about what happens when a Contributor retracts their code from the Covered Software.

  3. My understanding is that if a Contributor licensed some code in the past, who ever received the code with that license can continue using it regardless of filing of a patent or the Contributor removing the code from the most recent version?
