No, the MPL is not clearly free[1]. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/06/msg00221.html The situation, roughly, is that while the MPL is non-free, Mozilla is being relicensed under an MPL/GPL/LGPL triple-license, and Debian gives leeway for this type of thing to be sorted out (though this one's being given more time than most would, I guess). http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/relicensing-faq.html This doesn't mean that this clause is necessarily DFSG-unfree, just that citing the MPL isn't enough to convince a lot of people.
