Si,

If I understand it right MPL libraries can be used in Apache  
projects, but only if unmodified. The MPL license is like GPL for  
it's own code, but is more like Apache or BSD/MIT for larger works  
that include it, ie it makes an explicit distinction between "covered  
code" and "larger works". The same is true for the SPL (Sun).

Of course, if you've found something specific about this somewhere  
let me know... I could be wrong.
