Hi,

I looked at the Mozilla site over the weekend. It seems like the MozPL
license will allow commercial use provided that notification is included
in docs &c. and any useful mods that we were to make were contributed
back to the source. We do not have facilities to make any mods
available for downloading. An approach like this would be very
reasonable for us if that is consistent with your intent.

BCNU,

MF
