Re: Debian firefox
* Bastian Venthur: Maybe, but that was not my point. I somehow have the impression that some people think firefox is non-free (or sort of) just because Debian has to rebrand it. I think you mean unbrand. Including our own logo with similar restrictions would be somewhat embarrassing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Roberto C. Sanchez: There was some discussion about potential Firefox replacement names a few days ago on IRC. I suggested WaterBuffalo and Manoj and a couple of other people really liked it. There also was an informal pool at http://ze-dinosaur.livejournal.com/12539.html with Iceweasel as the winner. I personally prefer Firesocks, with Freefox as the close second. -- Shot (shouldn’t we move this to -curiousa?) -- sonorous voicedon't drink and code/sonorous voice Seriously, drinking and coding is a great combination.

Debian firefox
I do hope that debian can overcome the recent of firefox. It is nice for them to show their true colors. That being said I hope that debian can muster enough support to fork firefox into a new browser. One in which is truly free and embraces opensource. A few of us our starting a foundation of sorts unrelated to debian, but we are waiting for any new developments concerning the web browser issue. We hope to include a debain based opensource web browser. I am aware of the many opensource web browsers, but we do not wish to use gnome or kde just to use one browser. Please, challenge googlefox.. I mean firefox. The opensource movement will surely follow. Thanks best of luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Firefox is free- and opensource. AFAIK they are only trying to protect their brand/trademark, which is IMHO ok, since the code itself is still free. They just want to make sure, that a product wearing the official logo and carrying the official name actually *is* the official firefox.
