If that is case you can find the text of the MPL here http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.0.html for version 1.0 and here http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.html for version 1.1 alternatively they can be found at www.mozilla.org. A quick search yielded no clear and simple explanation of the license, nor a comparison with the GPL, but it was a very quick search and a more thourough search would probably give something relevant. My understanding of the MPL is that it is designed to allow the inclusion of propriatry code into an open source development, though I could be wrong. Chris
