100% agree. We should get out of here and take this somewhere else - there is an established forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919444. I suggest everyone picks up and goes there. But I do think this is an issue that needs thrashing out, and possibly has wider implications - at least for any 'branded' free software. I appreciate there are many many smarter folk than me have looked at this, but as far as I can see, the name 'firefox' part of the code tree that is published GPL, MPL, LGPL and therefore is free to use. quote GPL: "You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it" Which means the build process results in the creation of a binary 'firefox'. Art work aside, how can a menu item labelled 'firefox' be restricted? -- AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
