I didn't understand that...
Read on, for the reason I need MPL/GPL...

The problem I was facing when I decided on the license, was that my code
uses 2 MPL libraries. So I couldn't take GPL, although I prefered it...
But now this problem with Kylix... :)
If I license my code in MPL/GPL, can I use both MPL libraries and GPL 
libraries in the same larger-application ?

Isn't really a probelm to me...
