I would like to publish software as generally available (freeware).

Can I use the Mozilla Public License as is ?
Should I or can I modify MPL 1.1 by changing the Mozilla name to my name (my
company name) and re-use it as a template ?
If not where can I find a template for GPL ?
any hints woould be appreciated.

The simplest thing is to use the MPL as is.  If you use it as a template 
I believe you still need to go through the OSI certification process.  
Some people object to the MPL because when it was written it could be 
revised by Netscape Communications Corporation.  With the creation of 
the Mozilla Foundation this has changed; the MPL can now be revised only 
by the Mozilla Foundation.

Hope this helps.
