LGPL, GPL and AGPL are explicitly compatible, and they all are technically incompatible with MPL, at least in the view of the FSF. The change to AGPL is necessary to make sure the sipXecs project can continue in a world of cloud hosting. As we close a loophole we knew we could not make it perfect for everyone (its like with tax loopholes too), but it makes it better for the project overall and that is good enough a reason for me. We can take a poll on it.

We have no intend to relicense FreeSWITCH. We choose the MPL on purpose and we have no intend whatsoever to change it. Nothing in this FAQ states that the AGPL is compatible with the L-GPL or the MPL Mozilla multi licenses all of its code. What you are planning is to partly have L-GPL, partly AGPL. That will not work. The AGPL is pretty strict. There is no half AGPL there is only AGPL or maybe AGPL plus GPLv3.

The L-GPL allows me to link to a L-GPL licensed library if my software is MPL. One of the reasons why some of the libs we use in freeswitch are LGPL ones.
