I think Gecko is under the MPL, not NPL. I'm not sure however if MPL is compatible
or not with the GPL (the NPL is certainly not) but it has much more chance... For
whatever I see (IANAL), the MPL as mostly the same restriction than the GPL, but a
bit more precise on how you must do thing (like how to publish work, where to write
modification and what to do about Patented Evil Code).
