I certainly can't help you there, and I'm not sure there is any subentity within Debian that can usefully give you its blessing. > BTW, I don't think they can claim the common words 'bird' and 'fox' > their own, so 'freebird' would be valid as much as 'freefox' IMHO.

It's a matter of whether they are *confusingly* similar. The easiest way to answer that would be to ask the Moz people whether they'd consider them confusingly similar or not. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
