Just going through it in

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceweasel

I found

===================================================

1)

The name IceWeasel was coined to refer to Mozilla Firefox during a
long debate within the Debian Project in 2004 and 2005. Mozilla
enforces trademarks vigorously and claims the right to deny the use of
the name "Firefox" to unofficial builds.

2)

Distributions that do not have this permission must compile the
Firefox source with an option enabled that gives Firefox a generic
name and does not use the official logo or other artwork.

I don't know about 4.0 but in 3.9 it compiles with the name "mozilla-firefox".

Is this wrong? or did I miss something?

Thankyou so much

Kind Regards

Siju
