You certainly don't /need/ FSF's blessing for your license -- but I'd think you'd very
much want them to put MPL 2 with Ex. A permissions on their list of "compatible" licenses,
if the intent is to replace the Mozilla tri-license
(which is incontrovertibly GPL-compatible by dint of, well, being GPL-licensed
in addition to MPL and LGPL-licensed).
