That's the reason I thought we'd have to move David's code into seperate
files- because his code wants to go into files with his Public Domain
license on them, and the new code wants to go into files with the MPL on
them.

You just redistribute everything under the new license. It would have to
be a total conversion though, because the GPL wouldn't allow some GPL
parts and some MPL parts, and I don't think it, or any improvements made
to the GPLed version could be converted back to MPL without explicit
permission of the author of the changes.
