Well, if you're distributing this with your executable, you probably 
don't want to use the GPL side of the tri-license because of its 
requirements affecting all code in the "Program."

That means you're in the NPL/MPL world.  Your obligaitons under the NPL 
and MPL are exactly the same.  The only difference between the two 
licenses is that Netscape has some special rights under the NPL that it 
doesn't have under the MPL.  All these special rights are collected in a 
single place, so neither you nor your lawyer need wade through both the 
MPL and the NPL.  Read either for your obligations.  Read the NPL 
addendum if you care about Netscape's special rights.

I'm not giving legal advice, or course.
