It depends.
Here is a rough rule of thumb: if you have copied and pasted any code or
information from Bugzilla files, then the files you have copied them
into (even if you subsequently went through "converting" to JSP and
deleting the old stuff) need to be licensed under the MPL.
If you just read the documentation and wrote the code from scratch, you
can license it how you like.
Can I ask, though: what motivated you to do this project? It seems like
a great deal of work. Are you planning to reimplement the entirety of
Bugzilla in Java? Bugzilla is a lot more than a database and a display
system.
