First, yes, I am not building software for distribution, rather I need a
multimedia platform with specific capabilities.  The work I described
previously is just a means to an end (unrelated to the software business).

Secondly, I note that there are commercial products built on Mozilla
(TopStyle, Netscape 6, etc).  If they are providing source they are
certainly not advertising it.  I was not able to find sources for either of
the above products at least with the cursory searches I did.

As for the mozilla license, I have not yet read it in full.  Whether I need
to provide source back or not is not a paramount issue.  It may be for this
forum though.
