APLv2 and MPLv2 both have patent protections.  How would a dual license
of APL+MPL result in a no-patent-protection license?

As far as I understand the MPLv2 is only compatible with the GPLv2
in a very specific case which makes it not useful for people that
would actually want to link their application with it.

Reference? I certainly don't see that in <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/>
