Firefox does not bother me too much: disabling branding was just a configure switch last I checked, and the no-branding build will still work fine. I believe seL4 just says if you ship a modified version you have to call it something different, and I am fine with that too. My main problem is when removing trademarks is technically difficult and/or causes breakage. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
