Hi I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the issue between Debain and Mozilla over the use of the name FireFox. It looks like they are going to go ahead with a switch.
I was just wondering if this is going to affect Thunderbird? Isn't Thunderbird under trademark the same way FireFox is? The copy of Thunderbird in Ubuntu has a different icon to the original. So how come Mozilla aren't objecting to Debian's use of the Thunderbird name, or can we expect problems over the name Thunderbird as well? On a tangent, aren't trademarks automatic? How does this affect other packages, if I produce an application does that mean I can force distros to rename it, and is the policy on trademark to ignore i till someone complains? - Andy -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
