No, it's not. Seamonkey's name is rather irrelevant. It's really a
different product. Not maintained by the same people, it's a fork of
the old project. See what happened with galeon and epiphany. Same
browser, same original author, different name.
Firefox's stringent trademarking policies became born because the
Mozilla trademark became diluted. You even see it in Internet
Explorer's User Agent string. The Mozilla trademark was long since
"lost" so to speak.
I always wondered how this was even allowed.
Mozilla was the internal codename for the Netscape product sort of like
rawhide. Seamonkey was earlier code name for the suite and now
trademarked independently by the developers as SeaMonkey.
