Jan 30, 2024 · Q1: What is the Mozilla Public License? The MPL is a simple copyleft license. The MPL's "file-level" copyleft is designed to encourage contributors to share modifications they make to your code, while still allowing them to combine your code with code under other licenses (open or proprietary) with minimal restrictions.
By definition, all free software/open source software is available for anyone (including companies) to use for any purpose. The licenses only affect you (to a greater or lesser extent) if you want to distribute the software, either in changed or unchanged form.
