I'm not sure but I think that in GPL application could be linked only GPL or
LGPL code.
So if expat would have only MPL it could not be used in GPL project and if
it would have only GPL it could not be used in non-GPL projects. So it is
two licenses. This is just IMHO on fact why it is two licenses.
