  NASA's Solar System Exploration: Missions: By Target: Mars: Past: Mars Polar Lander
MPL's primary goal was to deploy a lander and two penetrators (known as Deep Space 2) on the surface of Mars to extend our knowledge on the planet's past and present water resources.
MPL was to have performed its mission simultaneously with that of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which would have acted as a communications relay during its surface operations.
MPL itself comprised a bus section (for power, propulsion, and communications during the outbound voyage) and a 290-kilogram lander that stood 1.06 meters tall on the ground.

 OSS Watch - The Mozilla Public License - An Overview
The Mozilla Public License (MPL for short) is often portrayed as being the middle-ground between the strictness of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and the tolerance of the Berkeley Software Distribution License (BSD).
The provision that allowed Netscape Communications to relicense contributed code was seen as a mechanism for farming open source expertise for profit while giving little back.
Unlike other open source licences however, the MPL divides the granting of rights into two sections - one concerning the grant of rights by the code's initial author, and another concerning the grant of rights by other people who have added code to the initial author's work.
