I've read through the Debian bug report where this very problem is being discussed right now: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622 I think Mozilla's restrictions on the trademark are a real problem. For example, they don't even tolerate SECURITY updates without explicitly approving every single patch. They have also pretty-much backpedaled from a previous agreement they had with Debian (with the justification that that agreement was with Gerv from the Foundation and now it's the Corporation which decides), who is guaranteeing us that they won't do it to Fedora too? Who's guaranteeing us that they won't refuse to approve an important patch (or worse, ALL new patches) in the future? I'd really suggest following Debian's renaming here (with the same name if possible, to reduce confusion). Kevin Kofler
Sorry to jump in here. But from what I've read, it seems that MozCo is cool with Fedora as things stand. As ugly as this entire dispute is, it seems it would be only uglier if this turned into gang bang of sorts. I personally do not use Firfox as my primary browser, but I would hate to see its name tarnished. If it comes to having to rebrand it, I think that should be a last resort.
