Okay. Would it be appropriate to report a bug against Iceweasel to avoid shipping those images, and instead have them loaded from OpenSearch URLs when starting the browser? That way they'd clearly be not part of the Debian operating system. Do you think upstream (MozCorp) would have a useful opinion on the license terms of those images, or is there such an opinion online already that you can reference? -- \ “Apologize, v.
