Anyone wanting to help speed up this process, here is how you can help:
Read the MPL2 text carefully and report here on exactly what is the
status of GPL compatibility, report if we need to do anything
non-default to enable GPL compatibility, and point to precise
sentences in the MPL2 text.
Resources:
the MPL2: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/
the FAQ: http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/FAQ.html
Thanks!
