I absolutely agree.  Did you happen to happen to see the announcement of
copyleft.org on FSF's and Conservancy's site:
   https://sfconservancy.org/news/2014/nov/07/copyleft-org/
   http://www.fsf.org/news/software-freedom-conservancy-and-free-software-foundation-announce-copyleft.org

To quote from it:

   copyleft.org welcomes all contributors. The editors have already
   incorporated other freely licensed documents about GPL and compliance with
   copyleft licenses -- thus providing a central location for all such
   works. Furthermore, the project continues to recruit contributors who have
   knowledge about other copyleft licenses besides FSF's GPL family of
   licenses.

We've gotten a number of volunteers, Mike Linksvayer being one who is
mentioned in the press release itself, willing to contribute on CC BY SA.
We'd definitely welcome patches from experts on other copylefts, such as
MPL.  Do you know some who want to get involved?



As it stands, the only infrastructural issue in the text that makes such
contribution slighly difficult is that the discussion of GPL is in the same
"part" as the front matter about copyleft.

I'm trying to decide If I should make GPL license discussion a part of its
own, and make a separate part for each copyleft, or what.  If folks have
input on how the document should be structured to make it easy for others who
want to add material on other copylefts, I'd appreciate it.  I have to make
these changes soon to incorporate already available material on CC BY SA
anyway.

But, in the meantime, if someone wants to make (or point me to) a stand-alone
contribution that's CC-BY-SA-4.0'd and describes MPL or any other non-GPL
copyleft license that's not yet covered in the tutorial, please do so.  I
already have been pointed to a few places that have stuff on CC-BY-SA itself
and will be trying to incorporate that soon.
