The Mozilla Public License allows one to charge for executable versions of
products built using MPL code. The source version of MPL code must always
be available free of charge under the MPL. But one is allowed take that
source code, compile it and sell the executables. this may be hard since
others can do the same. But if you have the brand, or user base that will
pay for this, then one is free to do it.<br>
<br>
And of course, one can combine MPL code with other code into a product and
charge for the combined product; a number of companies do this.<br>
