How would using MPL code make the program GPL?

And if the code is dual-licenced, it lets the distributor CHOOSE. If I use dual MPL/GPL code, I can use the MPL licence and my code does not become GPL.

Cheers,

I was referring specifically to LGPL-licensed code, not dual-licensed. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Neither MPL nor LGPL will force the distributor to make their program GPL, it should also be noted.
