So the only way out of this is to not contaminate main and to not
stop distributing a firefox package by:
1. packaging weasel packages for main
2. putting a brand (extension) package named firefox in non-free.

OK, I think it is a good idea to post the full mail for reference purpose.

claim that we need to remove a patch or something. if that happens, we can
rethink our position and maybe drop the trademark symbols.
Anyway, I guess we should try find a unique solution for all mozilla apps.

ird should still be a bird ... and since the removal of
trademarks is an act of releasing it to freedom, why not just call it
freebird?

Naming the packages like this would emphasize that we want to be free
and not reigned by trademarks.

don't. AFAICS, as soon as you do not use the community edition you have
to change the package name *and* the command names.

tched to firefox, because they _could not_ claim firebird their own.
However, freefox vs. firefox might be a problem; but then let's consider
something similar like wildfox or openfox.

suggestion here would be to give your projects something like a codename
(e.g. thunderbird codename freehawk) and explicitly grant the right to use those
codenames for derived works of thunderbird in your trademark policy. The same
would be true for mozilla, firefox and
hat is needed to do, to actually keep
things going. I doubt there is a solution unless you do so.

I hope this special treatment has nothing to do with the sun-ubuntu deal
announced a few days ago.
