The Firefox/Iceweasel mess was the result of Mozilla's stance that you
aren't allowed to distribute a modified Firefox and still use the
trademarked Firefox logo and name.

Their reasoning was that you could patch Firefox to suck, and that would
tarnish the brand. On the other hand, not allowing modification and
redistribution violates Debian's free software guidelines.

If we don't care about downstream patched versions that use the Sage
branding, this won't be a problem. If we do, then they can rebrand or
not patch. I don't see it as much of a problem.
