Non-sequitur.
All you've done is choose to ignore the "viral" effect merely because it
works on a module-by-module level. That's inconsistent. If you dislike
the GNU GPL because it's "viral" [sic], then you should dislike the MPL
for the same reason.
In the name of overall sanity of discourse, however, I'll point out that
choice of licence comes up if and only if you're a coder or other
software copyright holder. As such, you get to put your code under
whatever licence(s) you wish -- constrained only by requirement of
compatibility with other people's code you might wish to incorporate.
My point? Advising people that they "shouldn't" or "can't" use
particular licences is a waste of everyone's time. People will use
whatever suits their purposes.
