I really haven't a clear idea about products tri-licensed, but in case
of lightproof, it is tri-licensed[1], and to I understand, in this
cases i can choice one of it. Looking more one time about the legal
questions here[2], i understand that MPL can be used too, including in
the source (that is not our case).

In other hand, CoGroo[3], a grammar checker based in java, changed its
license to Apache after a e-mail where I asked about this possibility.
I see that is a good thing, but java (IMHO) is more complex that
python, that we already have a VM embedded.
