Hi Jeff,

Yes, that icon is under MPL, LGPL or GPL - it's your choice. Probably
best to use it under the GPL, as that's what the rest of your app is
using. So just follow the terms of the GPL.

Of course we can't enforce this (that's the point of it being the free
icon!), but we would request you don't use it in a way that confuses
your app with builds from the Firefox codebase.
