I am working a project that is licensed under the MPL 1.1 and would like to incorporate some code that is licensed under the APL 2.0.

I know in 2010 Mozilla announced they were updating the MPL to make it more "Apache compatible" among other things.

I'm no lawyer. Exactly what part(s) of the MPL 1.1 don't jive with the APL 2.0 and vice versa? The project has very few of its original contributers still actively involved so I doubt I'd be able to contact all of them to get permission to change the license.
