I can understand why I can't call it mozilla, because that's their name. They are not called firefox though. They make a thing called "Mozilla Firefox" and are claiming "Firefox" as an extra name. It may be an acceptable extra restriction on the code which we can work with, like the GPL, but it's still a restriction most don't place. On a purely pragmatic note, if it's fine to require the name is changed for modified versions (like Debian's can be), it's not clear how to do that at present - do we know if it is even possible? It feels like Mozilla may be free but vexatious. Unsurprisingly, I'm a little grumpy at them claiming they are behaving well while making more work for us. Then there are the claims that X or Y from MF will discuss it, even though past attempts failed and it seems nothing has changed on MF's side.
