If this were a trademark, how about these files: $ dpkg -L iceweasel | grep firef /usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox.js /usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/preferences/firefox-l10n.js /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox /usr/bin/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/mozilla-firefox.1.gz /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png /usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-firefox.png /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin Also, iceweasel stores its settings in ~/.mozilla/firefox. And I guess there are many other places where "firefox" appears in the Iceweasel bundle, and this is not a copyright infringement, just like setting the User-Agent to the same that Firefox does it not a copyright infringement. -- Cats, no less liquid than their shadows, offer no angles to the wind.
