Yes, you can distribute your program as executable. You are not required
to make your source code available. We are not the GPL brigade :)

However, your are required to include a notice about the availabilty of
cURL (something along the lines of "This program uses (parts of) cURL
which is available from http://curl.haxx.nu/".)

See section 3.6 of MozPL for a more accurate description.

PS: I only had MozPL 1.0 at hand, but I do not think it differs in this
regard from MozPL 1.1, which is used by cURL.
