This URL more than makes up for it:

"The staff at mozilla.org have decided to go forward with an attempt to
relicense the code contained at cvs.mozilla.org under an MPL-GPL dual
license."

This is good news for Free Software users, great news for Free Software
developers, and wonderful news for Free Software zealots like myself. :)

For a start, we will see integration with GNOME/StarOffice, a likely
deluge of bloat-free front-ends, (see Galleon) the availability of the
many general-purpose libraries and toolkits developed for the Mozilla
project to other Free Software projects, and RMS-knows-what other
innovative uses from the fertile minds of the Free development community.
