I got a clarifying answer. The relicensing is indeed done, which means
they got permission from all the contributors involved to relicense the
relevant things. Some things may not be MPL/GPL/LGPL if they are under
compatible licensing terms (such as the Mozilla-sample-code license).
Some others, such as the assembler files I was talking about were just
missed by the license status checking scripts and can be considered
relicensed.
