Actually, mozjs24's license is MPL-2.0, which is -- according to the
FSF's interpretation of things [1] -- compatible with GPL-3. Our license
check tooling, however, explicitly marks all MPL licenses as
incompatible with all GPL licenses [2]. I think that's a bug.

The GPL <-> MPL conflict was already there in the inital script
committed 5 years ago by Josh [3]. Josh, do you agree this is a bug?
