My understanding is that it is dual-licenced, but then maybe i am wrong.
Victor, can you comment on this ?

Also, Bastian, why is the modules being MPL a problem ? I mean we have
binary-only modules and such, and it should be ok. The current idea is that
the module interface boundary, as long as it doesn't use GPL-only symbols,
constitute a clean enough barrier so as to not cause GPL-compatibility
problems.
