Fedora gets to build and ship a slightly-modified version of Firefox while
retaining the Firefox name due to a distribution partner agreement with
Mozilla. Mozilla gets their money from Google. I don't think we *can* make
it something else -- it's part of the price we are paying in order to use
the non-Free name.
