The MPL is designed to allow a project to combine code from different licenses. So, if you have a file that has MPL code in it (including new files in which you include some MPL code) those need to be available under the MPL. Once you've done this, you are welcome to combine those files with BSD licensed code (or even closed code if that's what you want to do).
As always, this isn't legal advice. You should engage a lawyer if you want such advice.

Hi,
Few simple question (I hope).
I have a BSD licensed project that includes some parts of MPL licensed but modified code. As such, the modifications are publicly available. Does this mean that the rest of my BSD licensed code that relies on the modified MPL licensed code also falls under the MPL license.
What I mean: is it possible to mix those two in the same project, having each file it's own license?
For eaxample: I wish to make the proprietry software with parts of MPL modified code. Are the publicly available modifications only for modified code enough, or do I need to make the code that uses those modified files also publicly available?
The MPL says that my modifications need to be public, and that's fine with me, but I'm not sure what happens with the code that uses those modified files.
Thanks, MT.
