Hi Mike Hommey, Understood. If those changes can be added to this hypothetical "approved patch list" that Mike Connor is talking about, nobody could say Debian is being treated differently from other distro's. This might mean Debian will have to spend some time meeting Mozilla's (and I use the term loosely) "Quality Assurance" guidelines for a Community Release, or perhaps even become involved in development directly with Mozilla.org. Is this particularly very much harder than the extra work Debian is already doing with some of Mozilla's code? As it seems to me, the primary concern held by Mike Connor is that the logo was not being used, yet the name was. Clearly, though, Mozilla already has policies in place that occasionally allow for this. There is a serious, published precedent for organizations to divorce the "firefox" name and the planet/fox logo. This is all that is necessary for Debian to not be seen as a special case.
