Yes. I've read the bug-track where Mike Connor, representing the Mozilla Foundation, wrote to Debian and informed them that Mozilla did not consider the way in which Debian was using the Firefox name to be acceptable. And Debian-Edu will certainly not use time repackaging software maintained outside of Debian-Edu/Debian, because of little flexibility from Mozilla Foundation. Staying the course even made Sun Microsoft open up, GPL-ing Java (Sun representatives says the library's will be released as open source in +two months). Sun now uses a lot of resources making Sun available on every free software platform. But consider this: 1. Using a unbranded globe, could make the similarities good enough for schools. 2. Deliberate a bit more with Mozilla Foundation, because the Debian people did not have time for now to negotiation. Canonical pulled this of. 3. Pulling in Mozillas packages for Debian (if that exists). 4. Replacing the Whole Firefox with Konqueror, using a look allike free icon, and make the settings in Konqueror identical to look and feel in Firefox (this is doable). I got contacts whit graphical designers able to make a free icon that gives nice look and feel, based on the Artic fox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_fox Best regards Knut Yrvin -- Community Manager / Developer Tools - Trolltech ASA cell: + 47 908 95 765, phone: +47 21 60 27 58 http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
