about:license mentions the non-free Microsoft DirectX License:
This license applies to the following files; they are referred to
below as "Distributable Code": d3dx9_*.dll and d3dcompiler_*.dll.
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
The Distributable Code may be used and distributed only if you comply with the
following terms: (i) You may use, copy, and distribute the Distributable Code
only as part of this product; (ii) You may not use the Distributable Code on a
platform other than Windows; (iii) You may not alter any copyright, trademark
or patent notice in the Distributable Code; (iv) You may not modify or
distribute the source code of any Distributable Code so that any part of the
source code becomes subject to the MPL or any other copyleft license; (v) You
must comply with any technical limitations in the Distributable Code that only
allow you to use it in certain ways; and (vi) You must comply with all domestic
and international export laws and regulations that apply to the Distributable
Code.
Thankfully these files are not in Iceweasel's source. Apparently these
files are only in Windows builds, not in the source. They would
therefore not be on Debian.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630628 discusses these files.
I suppose the ideal solution would be for Firefox to only include this
license in about:license on Windows.
