That is not the clause I mentioned.

which allows me to "choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of

Here is the clause that I mentioned (from MPL 1.1). It explictly says
the Initial Developer.

  13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.

       Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
       'Multiple-Licensed'.  'Multiple-Licensed' means that the Initial
       Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
       Your choice of the NPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified
       by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
