*sigh*

An XUL motor is not a library.  It is a platform, like an OS, for
running applications.

An XUL motor is the equivalent of a JavaVM or Linux.  Programs run on
top of them.

What you _really_ want is this:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL

And I'll save you the trouble by quoting the relevant text:
"When the interpreter just interprets a language, the answer is no."

XUL motors interpret XUL applications.  End of.

It's not a flame match.  Somebody is spouting ignorant FUD about the
GPL, stuff RMS and other FS advocates have had to debunk time and time
again.  And you're helping his dellusion by giving out-of-context links.
