Admittedly being a bit pedantic, that isn't quite true, at least with
"that browser otherwise called Firefox". You not only notice but accord
some value to the brand, as you not only noticed but obviously prefer the
Firefox branding, or you'd prefer "Bon Echo" or whatever, since the only
positive is the branding, which you wouldn't care about, and it comes with
a big negative, restrictions on your legal right to give your friend a
copy, should they need or want one.
So it appears you care rather more about branding than you claim.
Ha, I feel silly now for not adding 1+1. I'd read all about the
Debian iceweasel stuff, but never stopped to consider why Gentoo was
calling it 'Bon Echo' or why the logo was missing the orange splash.
Thinking I still really don't care all that much...
