Public bug reported:
I was reading the Ubuntu components page -
http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components , and I thought that having the
official artwork etc. no longer qualifies the Ubuntu package of free
software, which is a requirement of packages in main. Also the
requirement "can freely be redistributed" is probably not the case for
this packaging of Firefox. Firefox doesn't qualify as an exception, as
it is not "binary firmware and selected fonts that cannot be modified
without permission from their authors." In fact, in order to modify
Firefox and still call it Firefox, you need permission from Mozilla.
I propose that this package should be moved to restricted, and the dfsg
bit in the version number should be dropped, as this package doesn't
comply with the DFSG.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
