It's not possible. from what I know Gecko is licensed under the NPL which
is incompatible with every other license, including LGPL, GPL, QPL, Artistic
etc. 

If they indeed use a acceptable license, just for the coolness a
gecko-embedding part would be great, yes. but that's optional and not very
high on my priority list. 

They're hypeing something that isn't really open source.
