As far as I know if somebody uses  MPL the product based on  MPL must be  
only  MPL.

MPL is incompatible with  LGPL too.

There is a way to use a triple license. But as I understood we need to  
make all  FPC code licenced as  MPL/LGPL because one module uses  MPL  
code. It is not the way.
So, if we want to have  sdlgraph there are 3 ways:
- rewrite needed  SDL headers
- write  SDL initialization and few base function for  SDL in C and then  
make headers for pascal
- speak with JEDI-SDL developer. But I don't know if he  relized it under   
MPL has he right to give such permission
