I'm curious as to how this would apply to Debian-derived distributions which either (a) don't change the Firefox/Thunderbird packages, or (b) change them in some trivial way. Would someone taking the packages unchanged from Debian be required to either ask MoFo for a trademark agreement or rename their Firefox? This isn't entirely a hypothetical question - I'm involved in producing a customised Debian distribution; we have changed the source code to a bunch of packages (although not any Mozilla ones) and ship a quite different default configuration for many more (including Thunderbird and I think Firefox too), and would like to make sure we're on the right side of Mozilla's trademark licence :-) Cheers, Cameron. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
