As I understand it, the logo license is not that draconian. What it
does prevent is modification of the Officially branded logo graphics.
The DFSG considers this non-free and thus prevents Firefox (and the
other Mozilla products) from existing in Main with those restrictions.
The flap arose over Debian's use of the Free alternative logos with the
Mozilla Firefox brand name which Mozilla Corporation now says is
unacceptable. Sometime back a Mozilla Foundation representative gave
permission to Debian to do just that, now they have retractec that
permission.
Welcome to the non-DFSG world.
