I asked the very same question last week, and this is mconnor's response:

"MPL tri-license by definition.  Good point, since CC-by-SA 3.0 is also 
incompatible with our code licenses (which is why we don't use them for 
MDC etc).  We probably should do some outreach to get people to agree. 
Probably can do a bit of bonsai scripting to get the list of individuals 
who've committed content.  In the meantime, anything without relicensing 
permission should be labeled as trilicense for now.  (FSF's copyright 
assignment makes this stuff so much easier.)  Anything contributed by 
moco employees can be relicened in whatever way we see fit, since MoCo 
owns the copyright."
