We are modifying the source code, which is ok with the "porting

Yes they are trying to exert a ridiculous level of control with
their trademark but only when using the official branding.
If they have given a project permission to use the official
branding then any patch to firefox must first be approved
by them.
That's what all the fus is about. I'm not happy about it but
it doesn't affect our ability to distribute it under the
community edition rules.
Actually, what the Mozilla people objected to in the whole Debian
debacle seems to be that the package was called ;firefox+.
I don't agree with your interpretation of the bug report.
Debian
already used the community edition version just like OpenBSD does.

Again this is not the way I understand it. What happened there
is not our concern or a topic for this list. They did things
differently then we have.
OpenBSD is complying with the published guidelines for
the community edition. That is the only point that matters.
If the Mozilla Foundation thinks differently, I'm sure they
will contact us.
