Villa: Changing Jobs
Luis Villa has left the Mozilla
Corporation to work at the law firm of Greenberg, Traurig.
"Mozilla has been terrific for me. Working with happy, dedicated,
passionate people is always a joy, and I've learned a ton from my teammates
in legal and from Mitchell. I particularly can't say enough good things
about my boss, Harvey- he's been a tremendous mentor to me. And of course
Mozilla is exactly the kind of job I went to law school to get- directly
helping hackers ship world-class software. Leaving today was hard- I'll
miss my coworkers, and I realized over the past few days that some of them
may even miss me ;)" He adds that he will continue to work on the
new MPL, which should be released soon.

If the next MPL is GNU GPL like, I may have to switch back to firefox! :)

The current MPL is similar to the LGPL, but works at the file level rather than library level. I would be surprised if the new MPL deviated from this model.
What type of changes are you wanting?

the MPL is similar to GNU LGPL? It means in case of software redistribution, code modifications/improvements must be published?

To understand the terms of the MPL, it is best to read it :-)
In summary: the copyleft is file-level. If you change an MPLed file, the changes must be MPLed. If your changes are in your own, new file, they need not be.
