My understanding is that they were not allowed to use the Firefox brand because its terms of use conflicted with their packaging and freedom rules. Any additional changes after they changed the brand to IceWeasel might also affect the ability to use the Firefox brand, but that wasn't the reason they rebranded it.
But hypothetically... if he truly were running firefox, and they created a script to run firefox that automatically added SPI and CAcert to the per-profile DB using certutil on the first run, would that case violate the terms of branded-firefox distribution? If a sysadmin did that to implement a site security policy (since we've never figured out if there's any way to add a sitewide db to the search list), would that violate terms of branded-firefox site distribution? -Kyle H On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 12:20 PM, Nelson B Bolyard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wan-Teh Chang wrote, On 2008-08-22 10:02: >> On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 10:43 AM, Daniel Stenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> On Thu, 21 Aug 2008, Wan-Teh Chang wrote: >>> >>>> Did you get your Firefox release from www.mozilla.com or from your Linux >>>> distribution? >>> I did say NSS 3.12, Firefox 3.01 and Debian Linux. >> >> If you get your NSS 3.12 from Debian Linux, you need to get the >> NSS source package from Debian and examine its patches. >> Debian adds the SPI Inc. and CAcert.org CA certificates to >> certdata.txt.
