My own take is that license choice is often thought of as a social signal -- 
it's a way of telling a community "hey, ____, we're like you!" (and implicitly: 
"come play with us!").  Many projects at Mozilla are part of Mozilla but also 
align with other cultural movements -- web devs, django devs, JS devs, etc.  
Given that there's no doubt in anyone's mind that those projects _are_ Mozilla 
projects, it's not surprising that a signal to those communities is valued.

As to your second question, I do think that for many of our codebases, I don't 
think it matters much either way.
