+@node Why Not Mir
+@section Why Not Mir
+
+The major problem with Mir, and why we need
+@command{mds} instead, is that contributions
+to Mir are subject Canonical's
+contributions-limiting agreement (CLA).
+
+Mir is very limited too. But is is however
+easier to extend. Ignoring the CLA, Mir
+is better Wayland, but for similar reasons
+it is still not good enough.
+
+Mir is however licensed under the GNU
+General Public License version 3 and GNU
+Lesser General Public License version 3.
+Much better than the MIT license, and
+hopefully we can steal some stuff.
