I don't know any reason we should believe that trademark prevents us from using the name "firefox" for functional elements such as package names and file/directory names. The trademark does of course prevent us from labelling the *interface* "firefox" and using the logos; but we already have a build switch we can use to comply with those requirements. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
