Re: Question regarding use of MPL code in commercial embedded work

[Mitchell Baker]

As usual, I agree with Frank's analysis.  (I'm not giving legal advice 
either.)

Any changes to MPL files ("Modifications") must be made available in 
source form under the MPL to anyone who receives a binary.

And, anyone who receives the Modifications gets them under the terms of 
the MPL, meaning they can make them public, contribute them to 
mozilla.org, etc.

As Frank points out, this is a big difference from the GPL, and it is 
intentional.
