> ("bait-and-switch") [...]I do not understand bait-and-switch - what trademark infringement do you claim is happening? In case it helps, a list of possible infringements is in the UK TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 - SECT 10 http://www.bailii.org/uk/legis/num_act/tma1994121/s10.html Beware that packaging there is packaging of a traded product, not the debian package (deb) sense. For that matter, what trade takes place with 'apt-get install ...'? I suggest that trademark law is not usually relevant to the control field Package. > For instance, if Best Buy provided a packaged product called "firefox" > that instead had IE or a nearly indistinguishable competing product > (iceweasel) this would also be trademark infringement. I can see why the firefox transition deb cannot be sold as firefox itself, but I do not see why it cannot be included and sold as debian.
