Same here! As far as I can understand, this renaming+branding will give users the same thing - just without the Firefox name and their logo. The car is still the same without its hood ornament and model name on the back. > Frankly its a win-win situation, AFAICT. Deb gets a great browser and > FF protects their stuff the way they want to.

Why not ask MoCo to provide a .deb as Opera does? People interested in an official .deb from MoCo can add a Moz repository to their list and others can choose *iceweasel* (or whatever it will be called), epiphany, konqueror, opera, etc. This way people who want to use Debian because of the surety it offers with its DFSG can use a *free* option and those obsessed with their logo and artwork can use a MoCo deb. > And I don't think its a big deal either. There is a huge choice of browsers out there after all. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
