GPL-compatible as in openssh and openssl?

A number of other points were raised here. For instance, that in certain
cases the MPL license would require you to change a specific file in the
source-distribution itself (which kind of gets in the way of signed
packages).
 
 Since this flame is only regarding the specific issue of keeping the
 source availble for one extra year, I gather that in all other points
 no difficulty was found?
