Hey Magic Banana,

That's not the only thing that Mozilla's trademark policy says. It also says that, as long as the Mozilla trademark stuff is included, it must be distributed without charge.

The requirement to rename a modified version is fine, according to the FSF, but Mozilla's trademark policy goes too far, according to the FSF, making Mozilla-branded software non-free through their trademark policy -- Not the software license:

"Unfortunately, such a restriction in a trademark license does make the software nonfree. As we've said in the past, a requirement that you rename the software when you modify it is fine -- but a requirement that you rename it before you distribute it commercially goes too far. Changing the name of a program should be straightforward enough for anybody who modifies the software (and if it isn't, that can be problematic too); the same isn't true for people who simply want to distribute it."
