However, what i do not understand: Can I take my Code that has been released under MPL 1.1 before and release it under another license that is not MPL or even Open Source compatible? (Read: Can I take my Code and sell it in a commercial/properitary closed source application)
If you are the copyright holder of the entire thing (i.e. you have not incorporated any contributions by other people), then yes, certainly.
From what I understand:
If you release Code unter GPL, you can later on revoke this license and say: No, this code is not GPL anymore. Do not distribute it.
No, this is not true. Once you've released code to a particular person under the GPL, those rights are irrevocable. You can stop distributing the code yourself, but you can't prevent anyone who already has a copy doing so. All Free software licenses work this way - if they did not, the code would not be Free.
The MPL does not allow this "revokation" - Code that has been released under MPL is available under MPL forever.
This is the case for both MPL and GPL.
That means to me: I can take this Code and use it in properitary Products without obeying the MPL, but I cannot forbid people who got the Code already to use it under the Terms of MPL.
That is correct - again, as long as you are the copyright holder of all of it.
