Additionally, the changes we made to our version of 'firefox' mean that mozilla would have to give us explicit permission to be able to call it firefox, which they haven't done.
this forces us to a binary choice: a) throw away our liberating changes and call it firefox b) keep our changes and call it something else. as you can see, we opted for b), and just happened to maintain the debian-esque name scheme of ice-* coincidentally, the name is all that our verion and the discontinued debain version have in common. I hope this clears up some of this mess :) -A On Sat, Sep 09, 2017 at 11:38:56AM -0500, Eliot Reyna wrote: > Our case is the software development is completely dependent with the GNU > FSDG, which the vanilla Firefox source code does not comply.
