It's a legal issue. I've asked Mike Connor recently about the trademark problems and his answers were quite clear to me (applies to unofficial builds): - Currently mozilla takes no actions against the "firefox" executable or package name (because applications depend on the name), however it's not legal. - 'Firefox(r)' Community Edition is a trademark of mozilla. Its use is tolerated as long as we don't modify "firefox" too much (as outlined in [1] under "Community Releases"). Afaik our packages are not legal unless we have a secret partnership with mozilla. [2] links to all releveant documents. Personally i would like to see the same strict policy we use against vendors like Intel, Mavell etc applied to Mozilla, but thats just me (yes i know, base != ports).
