No deal, AIUI. > Or have they rerally changed the licence and trademark terms so that > isn't necessaary any more? At least that's what I gather from: >> [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/676799/ Quote thereof: | The Mozilla trademark guidelines have morphed considerably over | the years and, in particular, they have become far more open. | The logos and product names are no longer subject to separate | terms, and the current guidelines only state that "making | significant functional changes" prohibits a downstream project | from using the Mozilla trademarks. IANAL, but to me that sounds like the rebranding that was | to work around incompatibilities between the Debian Free Software | Guidelines (DFSG), the Mozilla trademark-usage policy, and the | licenses of the Mozilla logos. (again quoted from said article) is simply no longer necessary.
