There is a thing that I have never understood: we ship the Firefox package not branded, for the well known issues with the licensing of the artwork, and that's fine; but are we sure we can name that package "firefox" ? If you ask it to me, I think we can not: Mike Connor (a Mozilla guy :) said here [1]: "Firefox (the name) is equally protected and controlled by the same trademark policy and legal requirements as the Firefox logo. You're free to use any other name for the browser bits, but calling the browser Firefox requires the same approvals as are required for using the logo and other artwork. [...] If you are going to use the Firefox name, you must also use the rest of the branding." Mozilla may say that we are "lying" to users, because the name is named firefox, but it doesn't contain Firefox. Discuss! P.S. I didn't filed a bug report yet because I want to discuss this here. P.P.S Please don't hate me.
