If they want BSD-licensed projects to incorporate their code, they need to license it under the BSD license (or similar). They are not in a position to "allow" their MPL-licensed code to be included in a BSD-licensed project. That just doesn't mean anything. We never needed their permission. We could be "BSD-licensed except for this one bit which is MPLed", but we don't want to be.
