It has nothing to do with copyright. The name change has to do with trademark, one of the other sides of Intellectual Property. The Mozilla Foundation won't allow *ANYONE* and that means *anyone* use the Mozilla (including Firefox) logo, artwork, or name unless they meet certain criteria. One of these includes allowing Mozilla Foundation to sign off on any patch applied to the source code. Debian did not find that situation acceptable. That would require the Debian Security Team to wait until Mozilla Foundation blessed off any backports of security problems before Debian users could get a patch. Solution: Remove the Mozilla Foundation trademarks and licensed artwork. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
