I can't relate those words to anything I know about the MPL 2 and free
software, so I wonder if a misunderstanding might be involved.
How might this result in a program that is open source but not free?
That result does happen, but I don't see what in this situation
could have that effect.

Would you like to spell out the scenatio that you have in mind, and
how it might result in a program that is open source but not free?
Then we could determine whether it is a misunderstanding.
